Import Tips
• Obtain FAA or EASA certification documentation to verify airworthiness compliance during customs clearance
• Declare exact material composition (e.g
• carbon fiber percentage) to avoid reclassification under general machinery parts
• Include manufacturer specs confirming unladen weight compatibility for helicopters under 8802
