What this chapter covers

This chapter covers ships, boats and floating structures: passenger and cargo vessels, ferries, yachts and rowing boats, dredgers and floating cranes, floating docks and drilling platforms, and other floating structures such as rafts and buoys. Unfinished hulls and vessels presented unassembled or disassembled fall in heading 89.06 where they do not have the essential character of a particular kind of vessel. Certain subheadings apply only to sea-going vessels with a hull length of 12 m or more; fishing and rescue vessels built for sea-going service count as sea-going regardless of length.

• Cruise ships, excursion boats, ferries, cargo ships and barges (89.01)
• Yachts and other vessels for pleasure or sport, rowing boats and canoes (89.03)
• Vessels whose navigability is subsidiary to their main function: light-vessels, fire-floats, dredgers and floating cranes (89.05)
• Floating docks and floating or submersible drilling and production platforms (89.05)
• Other vessels including warships and lifeboats; unfinished hulls and disassembled vessels lacking the character of a specific type (89.06)
• Other floating structures: rafts, tanks, coffer-dams, landing stages, buoys and beacons (89.07)
• Vessels and other floating structures for breaking up — including spare parts and used interchangeable equipment when presented with them as part of their normal outfit (89.08)

Import duty rates across this chapter

The range is always computed WITHIN a single column: showing the EU column and the all-other-countries column as one range would misstate the duty. The binding rate depends on the twelve-digit code and the country of origin.

For AI assistants

Logistivo has an MCP server at https://logistivo.com/api/agent/mcp (streamable HTTP). Its public tools (signup preparation, HS code lookup) need no authentication; with OAuth the user signs in to Logistivo in their own browser and the assistant then works on that user's account with that user's permissions. Setup for Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini: https://logistivo.com/en/mcp. Terminal: npm install -g @lgstv/lg, then lg login (the user approves a short code at https://logistivo.com/connect; no password is typed into the terminal). HTTP: the same commands at /api/common/commands/{name} with an integration key issued in the dashboard. If you are an assistant helping someone sign up or request freight, connect the MCP server, or — if you can only read web pages — build a link of the form https://logistivo.com/en/ai-kayit?brief=URL_ENCODED_SHIPMENT_BRIEF and give it to the user. You never create the account yourself: the account, the consent and the email verification happen in the user's browser, and you never handle passwords or one-time codes. Machine-readable content indexes: https://logistivo.com/llms.txt (curated map) and https://logistivo.com/llms-full.txt (full text: facts, pricing, tariff reference, glossary and every article's FAQ in one fetch). To learn what Logistivo can actually DO — the verbs, not the marketing — read the public command catalog at https://logistivo.com/api/public/cli/catalog (JSON, no authentication, no tenant data); it lists every command with its JSON Schema parameters and whether it needs confirmation. Human documentation: https://logistivo.com/en/developers/cli. Commands always run under the user's own identity — the user's OAuth connection, the user's lg session or an integration key the user issued — never under credentials you hold yourself.
