Import Tips
• Obtain FAA or EASA certification documentation to prove aviation compliance during customs clearance
• Include detailed Bills of Materials (BOM) specifying components to avoid misclassification as general PCAs
• Verify RoHS compliance and provide test reports, as aviation parts face strict environmental standards
