Did you know when you purchase fishing equipment or motorboat fuel, a portion of the import duty tax is put into a trust fund managed by the federal government?
Your import duty is collected and held in the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, which ultimately distributes the money to states for management of fishery projects, boating access, and aquatic education.
