Import Tips
• Verify ITAR/EAR export control classifications prior to import, as rocket components often require U.S. government licenses
• Provide detailed engineering drawings and material certifications to confirm classification as reaction engine parts
• Avoid misclassification as aircraft parts by specifying non-aerojet applications in documentation
