About yachts and other vessels; for pleasure or sports, inflatable (including rigid hull inflatable), fitted or designed to be fitted with a motor, unladen (net) weight (excluding the motor) not exceeding 100kg

HS code 890311 covers a specific category of recreational watercraft - inflatable yachts and other pleasure/sports vessels designed to be fitted with a motor, with an unladen weight (excluding the motor) of 100kg or less. This industry plays a significant role in the global leisure and tourism sectors, providing affordable and accessible options for water-based recreational activities. These compact, lightweight vessels are popular for their portability, ease of use, and suitability for a wide range of water environments, from lakes and rivers to coastal areas.

Production process

Inflatable yachts and vessels under HS code 890311 are typically manufactured using advanced materials and production techniques. The main components, such as the hull, deck, and inflatable sections, are often fabricated from durable, lightweight materials like PVC, Hypalon, or reinforced fabrics. These materials are cut, shaped, and assembled using specialized equipment and techniques to ensure the vessels' structural integrity, buoyancy, and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The production of inflatable yachts and vessels under HS code 890311 requires a range of inputs, including the primary raw materials (e.g., PVC, Hypalon, fabrics), specialized manufacturing equipment (e.g., cutting machines, welding tools, inflation systems), and various components such as motors, control systems, and accessories. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, engineering expertise, and quality control processes to ensure the safety and reliability of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 890311 is inflatable yachts and other pleasure/sports vessels designed for recreational use. These vessels may be consumed by individual consumers, rental companies, or 950620 Water sports equipment businesses. The compact, lightweight, and portable nature of these vessels also makes them suitable for 950630 Fishing tackle and 950690 Other articles and equipment for sports or outdoor games, where their mobility and ease of transport are valuable features.
