8903.31.00.15 - Cabin cruisers

This HTS subcategory, 8903.31.00.15, specifically covers cabin cruisers designed for pleasure or sports. These are motorboats, not inflatable, with an inboard or outdrive propulsion system. Crucially, they are characterized by having a length not exceeding 7.5 meters. The term "cabin cruiser" implies a vessel equipped with enclosed accommodation, such as a cabin, offering overnight capabilities and greater comfort for recreational use.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8903.31.00.20 ("Other"), is the specific mention of "Inboard/outdrive" propulsion. While both fall under motorboats not exceeding 7.5 meters in length and not being inflatable, this subcategory precisely targets those with an inboard engine connected to an outdrive unit for propulsion and steering. This contrasts with other motorboat configurations that might exist within the broader "Other" category at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8903.31.00.15. Classification at this level relies on confirming the vessel is a motorboat, not inflatable, has an inboard/outdrive propulsion system, a length up to 7.5 meters, and features enclosed cabin accommodation for recreational purposes.
