Import Tips

Submit manufacturer's unladen weight certificate in normal flying order (excluding fuel/crew) to verify 8802.30.0150; discrepancies lead to reclassification

Comply with bilateral airworthiness agreements and provide maintenance logs; pitfall is overlooking anti-icing system declarations affecting weight

Use bonded carriers for transport and pre-clear customs with CBP aviation specialists for faster release
