CBP generally relies on FAA airworthiness records, logbooks, and the manufacturer's certificate of origin to determine whether an aircraft qualifies as new. An aircraft that has been placed in service, even briefly, is typically classified as used (8802300180), which can affect both the applicable duty rate and the documentation required at entry.
Importers generally need an FAA Form 8130-3 or equivalent foreign airworthiness certificate, a bill of sale or lease agreement, a commercial invoice reflecting the transaction value, and an airworthiness export certificate from the country of manufacture. Aircraft from approved bilateral aviation safety agreement (BASA) partners may have streamlined certification requirements.
