Import Taxes?

I was curious if you bought a boat from anther country, like maybe Barbados and had a boat shipped over here. What kind of taxes or regulations would I incur? All help is greatly appreciated. I think I found my next boat.:D

Depends

If it was built in the US you should not pay duties any as long as you have a certificate of origin.

go to US customes website & check

For eons our IMPORT tax on boats was 33% of the invoice value.. NOT including shipping etc..Then it went up to 55% for about 10 years.Now back down to 33%

I doubt strongly that you've found your next boat here..... the seller would never be able to recoup that loss and you sure would'nt want to pick it up :eek:

ps .. Don't forget the $5.85 a gal gas too :hothead:
