Import Tips
• Include aerospace material specifications (e.g
• AMS standards) and forging quality certificates to support classification and FAA compliance
• Ensure proper marking of forgings as 'not for aircraft use' if applicable, or provide end-use certification to avoid ITAR restrictions
• Document heat treatment status; quenched and tempered forgings remain classified here until fully machined
