Additionally, used aircraft may require additional CBP valuation scrutiny and FAA airworthiness re-certification before they can be placed on the US register.
Certain aircraft imports have been subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on country of origin and the specific trade dispute context. Importers should verify current remedy orders with CBP and consult a licensed customs broker, as applicability can shift with ongoing trade negotiations.
