Import Tips

• Verify the glider's unladen weight and confirm it meets non-powered aircraft criteria to avoid reclassification as recreational equipment under Chapter 95

• Obtain FAA or equivalent certification documents proving it's an aircraft, not a toy or kite, for smooth customs clearance

• Declare as a complete hang glider assembly; partial frames may shift to parts under 8803, increasing scrutiny
