compliance with 19 U.S.C. 1484b which provides that an otherwise
dutiable yacht that exceeds 79 feet in length, is used primarily for
recreation or pleasure, and had been previously sold by a manufacturer
or dealer to a retail customer, may be imported without the payment of

boat show in the United States. The statute provides for the deferral
of payment of duty until the yacht is sold but specifies that the duty
deferral period may not exceed 6 months. This collection of information
is provided for by 19 CFR 4.94 which requires the submission of
information to CBP such as the name and address of the owner of the
yacht, the dates of cruising in the waters of the United States,
information about the yacht, and the ports of arrival and departure.
Current Actions: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this
information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the
information collected.
