8903.22.00.15 - Of a length exceeding 7.5 m but not exceeding 9.2 m

This HTS classification pertains to sailboats, specifically those not of inflatable construction, that are equipped with an auxiliary motor. The defining characteristic of this category is the vessel's overall length, which must be greater than 7.5 meters but not exceed 9.2 meters. These vessels are intended for pleasure or sporting purposes, encompassing a range of recreational sailing craft.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8903.22.00.20, based on a precise length threshold. While both cover sailboats with auxiliary motors, this specific classification applies to vessels within the 7.5 to 9.2 meter length range. The sibling category encompasses larger vessels exceeding 9.2 meters in length. Therefore, the critical determinant for distinguishing between these two categories is the measured length of the hull.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for classification. Consequently, all sailboats meeting the criteria of being non-inflatable, having an auxiliary motor, and measuring between 7.5 and 9.2 meters in length will be classified under HTS code 8903.22.00.15. This level of detail ensures a precise classification based on the physical dimensions of the vessel.
