Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify unladen weight certification from manufacturer to confirm classification under 8802.40.01; weights include permanently fitted equipment but exclude fuel and crew
• Obtain FAA or equivalent airworthiness certificates and export licenses from origin country for large aircraft imports
• Anticipate high bond requirements due to value; common pitfall is misclassifying based on payload capacity instead of unladen weight
