8903.12.00.60 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification covers inflatable boats, including those with rigid hulls, that are specifically designed for recreational or sporting purposes. Crucially, these vessels must *not* be designed for use with a motor, and their unladen (net) weight must not exceed 100 kilograms. Examples include small, lightweight inflatable dinghies or kayaks intended for paddling or rowing, where motor propulsion is not a consideration and the overall weight is minimal.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, "Valued over $500," by the absence of a monetary threshold for classification. Regardless of their value, if an inflatable boat meets the criteria of being unpowered and weighing under 100 kg, it falls into this category. The sibling category would encompass similar vessels that, for reasons such as additional features, materials, or brand, are valued above that specific dollar amount, assuming they also meet the unpowered and weight criteria.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification decisions within this HTS code rely solely on the determination that the vessel is an inflatable boat (including rigid hull inflatable types), is not designed for motor use, and has an unladen weight not exceeding 100 kg.
