Import Tips

• Obtain FAA airworthiness certification and provide detailed unladen weight documentation verified by manufacturer specs to confirm classification under 8802.30.0150

• Prepare export licenses from origin country and comply with ITAR regulations for aircraft components; common pitfall is miscalculating unladen weight excluding fuel/crew

• Secure aviation insurance and arrange specialized transport via ship or heavy-lift aircraft; declare as new aircraft to avoid used import duties
