Import Tips
• Obtain FAA or EASA certification documentation to verify civil aircraft compatibility and airworthiness
• Declare exact material composition (e.g
• carbon fiber percentage) to avoid reclassification under 8807.90
• Ensure supplier provides traceability certificates for aerospace-grade composites to meet FAA Part 145 requirements
