Import Tips
• Include manufacturer's unladen weight certificate conforming to subheading note definitions for customs valuation
• Secure end-user certificates to confirm civil use, preventing reclassification as military under ITAR
• Budget for additional FAA conformity inspections upon arrival, which can delay clearance
