I'm not getting too excited over this post....
snipWho Is Affected? Any recreational or commercial vessel entering a U.S.
port from a foreign destination.
Interesting statement...please provide by what authority?
Unless you can show me otherwise, 33CFR160.202(b) which was enacted 07/03
excludes recreational vessels. Your article doesn't quote much in the way
of legislative authority.

FWIW,
