Thanks, sir! This topic comes up with almost everyone I work with that owns a foreign-built boat -- figured it was worth a short write-up. Glad you learned something new, hope you're doing well 😊
I am a US citizen with a USCG documented vessel that was purchased outside the US. It has not been imported. I plan to visit the US with it temporarily (4 months) before continuing on to Mexico. The US CBP has told me that cruising permits are only issued to foreign flagged vessels, not to USCG documented vessels. Can you refer me to the source of your information when you state that a cruising permit is available to US flagged vessels? Thank you.
Comprehensive and clear write up, Scott. Thanks for clarifying - did not know the nuances of the importation requirements.
