8903.21.00.35 - Of a length exceeding 4 m but not exceeding 6.5 m

This HTS category, 8903.21.00.35, specifically classifies sailboats, excluding inflatable types, that are equipped with or without an auxiliary motor. The defining characteristic for this classification is the vessel's length, which must exceed 4 meters but not surpass 6.5 meters. These vessels are intended for pleasure or sports use, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 89 concerning ships and boats.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike subcategory 8903.21.00.30, which covers sailboats up to 4 meters in length, this category applies to longer vessels. Similarly, it differs from 8903.21.00.40, which encompasses sailboats measuring between 6.5 meters and 7.5 meters. Therefore, the precise measurement of the vessel's length is the primary differentiating factor.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8903.21.00.35 is final based on the established criteria of being a non-inflatable sailboat with or without an auxiliary motor, and falling within the specified length range of over 4 meters up to and including 6.5 meters.
