Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify unladen weight documentation per subheading notes, excluding crew, fuel, and non-permanent equipment to confirm ≤2,000kg

• Obtain FAA or equivalent airworthiness certificates for used aircraft to avoid customs holds; include maintenance logs

• Beware misclassification as new aircraft (8802.20.00), which has different rates; prove 'used or rebuilt' status with service history
