8903.33.00 - Of a length exceeding 24 m

This HTS classification pertains to motorboats, excluding inflatable vessels and those propelled solely by outboard motors, that are designed for pleasure or sports and measure over 24 meters in length. These are typically larger, more sophisticated vessels, often featuring significant onboard amenities and intended for extended voyages or recreational activities.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its specific length criteria. While 8903.31.00 covers motorboats up to 7.5 meters and 8903.32.00 encompasses those exceeding 7.5 meters but not exceeding 24 meters, this code exclusively applies to vessels exceeding the 24-meter threshold. The defining characteristic here is the substantial size of the motorboat, indicating a higher class of recreational vessel.

Within this broad category, further distinctions are made to refine classification. The subcategory "Inboard/outdrive" signifies vessels powered by engines integrated within the hull, driving either internal propulsion systems or external outdrive units. The subsequent subdivision, "Other," typically captures variations not specifically detailed in preceding subheadings, ensuring a comprehensive classification of these large motor-powered pleasure craft.
