If the vessel has a cruising permit foreign flagged vessels are exempt for the duration of the permit- a foreign flagged vessel without a cruising permit is liable for duties. One of the reasons for the cruising permit is to allow for a period in which the vessel is tax/ duty free, given that the vessel is forced to leave the country at the end of that period, and that most countries, UK included, do not allow a UK registered vessel to be registered in any other place without first de-listing from the UK register.
The cruising permit has all of this stated on the permit itself
US customs did not ask for payment or say anything to us about a decal.....
