I bought my Necky in Canada and imported it brand new into the USA. Took delivery between the two customs posts. Under NAFTA there is no duty on kayaks, so why would they bother you? Maybe if they thought it was built in Asia... Seems to me that the absence of a HIN is the best evidence that it is a home-built boat.

Smile, answer *exactly* what they ask you and don't carry anything illegal.
