Import Tips

Submit detailed rebuild records and pre-import inspection reports to substantiate 'rebuilt' status and avoid new aircraft duties

Comply with FAA Form 8130-3 airworthiness approval tag for used imports; missing docs lead to quarantine

Calculate unladen weight precisely using official definition to prevent reclassification to higher-weight subheadings
