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
