Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain FAA or EASA certification documents to prove aircraft end-use and prevent general hardware classification

• Declare copper alloy specifics (e.g

• C11000) accurately to avoid disputes over base metal purity

• Avoid common pitfall of bulk packaging; specify aviation-grade in shipping marks for proper duty assessment
