Import Tips

Verify FAA or EASA certification documentation to confirm aircraft-specific design and avoid reclassification as general vehicle seats

Include detailed engineering specs and OEM part numbers in entry docs to prove 'of a kind used for aircraft' status

Beware of common pitfalls like incomplete Bills of Materials (BOM) leading to duties under broader furniture headings
