Import Tips
• Provide detailed weight breakdown excluding crew/fuel to comply with unladen weight definition
• Secure aviation authority approvals and ensure rotorcraft-specific safety certifications are included
• Avoid classifying as a kit; fully assembled units prevent shifts to parts headings—pitfall in partial imports
