Last updated: August 2026 dataParts imported for civilian aircraft — spanning structural components, avionics, landing gear assemblies, and cabin interiors — are a high-value, technically complex import category where classification precision directly affects duty liability and Civil Aircraft Agreement eligibility. FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) or Technical Standard Order (TSO) authorization is often required for safety-critical components, and counterfeit parts are a known enforcement concern, making supplier vetting and traceability documentation essential. The global MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) industry drives a significant share of parts import demand, with timing tied to aircraft maintenance cycles rather than seasonal patterns.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
Safety-critical parts must be accompanied by FAA Form 8130-3 (Airworthiness Approval Tag) or an equivalent document from a recognized foreign airworthiness authority under a BASA. Parts without proper traceability documentation may be classified as 'suspected unapproved parts' and cannot be legally installed on US-registered aircraft. Importers should establish chain-of-custody documentation from the manufacturer through to the end-user.
The Civil Aircraft Agreement extends duty-free treatment to parts and components specifically designed or certified for use in civil aircraft, but eligibility is determined at the HTS subheading level and requires that the goods be for use in civil — not military — aircraft. Parts that have both civil and military applications may not automatically qualify, and importers should review CBP guidance and consider a binding ruling request when eligibility is uncertain.
