CBP Determination of Boat Lenghth
Please see attached.
I run this boat on a lake on the Canadian border. Customs and Border Protection ["CBP"] require a decal and annual fee for boats 30 feet and over, but provide no literature as to what constitutes a 30 foot boat. I write in hopes that someone else has ran into this.

Is this a border issue?

Re: CBP Determination of Boat Lenghth
But they are inexpensive and if you regularly cross the border then I would recommend just getting it if your boat requires it.

I believe this is just for USA boats that travel to Canada and return to the USA (actually, it's any other country, not just Canada, but there are probably 1000x as many pleasure boats that go to Canada and return than any other country)

Not sure if USA boats need them however Canadian boats do for sure.

But only if you're landing at a USA port. If you're "boating in Canada your whole life", then you may never have a need for one, right?
