Import Tips
• Include manufacturer specs confirming no permanent equipment beyond flying essentials to prevent disputes over 'unladen weight' definitions
• Label clearly as 'aircraft - hang glider' to distinguish from paragliders, which may fall under different subheadings
• Check for dual-use restrictions if the design could be seen as military-related under export controls
