HS code 8903.19 is the 6-digit subheading for yachts and other vessels, for pleasure or sports, inflatable (including rigid hull inflatable), unladen (net) weight exceeding 100kg. It is used for large RIBs, heavy-duty inflatable sport boats, large inflatable yacht tenders, professional rescue inflatables (if pleasure/sport classified) and expedition-grade inflatables.
What HS 8903.19 covers
This HS code encompasses larger, heavier inflatable pleasure vessels, including Rigid Hull Inflatables (RIBs), with an unladen weight exceeding 100kg. These boats offer enhanced stability, greater capacity, and often higher performance capabilities compared to lighter inflatables, frequently designed to accommodate powerful outboard motors. They are utilized for a broader range of activities, from serious watersports, diving, and coastal exploration to serving as substantial yacht tenders or even light professional applications. The market includes affluent individuals, watersports centers, and charter operations. Key factors for buyers are durability, seaworthiness in varied conditions, and customization options, reflecting their higher-end positioning and versatility for more demanding recreational use.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
