Import Tips
• Obtain ITAR export licenses if transshipping through the US, as military parachutes may require defense trade controls
• Provide technical specs on unladen weight and deployment mechanism to distinguish from civilian models
• Avoid delays by pre-clearing with CBP for dual-use items that could trigger anti-dumping scrutiny
