8903.93.20.60 - Exceeding 5 m in length

This HTS subcategory, 8903.93.20.60, specifically classifies outboard motorboats constructed with hulls made of reinforced plastics, where the overall length of the vessel exceeds 5 meters but does not exceed 7.5 meters. These are typically recreational vessels designed for speed and maneuverability, powered by an external motor unit. The classification hinges on the combination of its construction material (reinforced plastics), its propulsion method (outboard motor), and its specific size range.

The key distinction for this category lies in its length specification. It is differentiated from its sibling category, 8903.93.20.45, which covers similar outboard motorboats with reinforced plastic hulls but are of a length *not exceeding* 5 meters. Therefore, a vessel of precisely 5.01 meters would fall into this category (8903.93.20.60), while a vessel of 4.99 meters would be classified under the sibling.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories within 8903.93.20.60. Classification at this level is definitive based on the criteria of hull material (reinforced plastics), propulsion (outboard motor), and the length exceeding 5 meters but not exceeding 7.5 meters. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate measurement of the vessel's overall length to ensure correct classification and avoid discrepancies during customs processing.
