Import Tips
• Verify FAA or EASA certification documentation to ensure compliance with aviation authority standards for ground trainers
• Include detailed technical specs on motion systems and simulation software to avoid misclassification as aircraft parts
• Check for ITAR restrictions as these trainers often incorporate sensitive avionics technology
