Import Tips

Certify unladen weight per subheading note (normal flying order sans crew/fuel); use independent weigh-in if challenged

File EEI via AES for aircraft exports/imports and include type certificate data sheet; avoid pitfall of incomplete engine serial declarations

Coordinate with FAA for import certificate of airworthiness prior to customs entry
