Import Tips
• Obtain ITAR export licenses from the U.S
• State Department prior to import, as military aircraft are controlled munitions
• Verify unladen weight documentation excluding crew, fuel, and non-permanent equipment per subheading notes
• Ensure end-user certificates proving military destination to avoid dual-use reclassification pitfalls
