In this first article, we are going to examine the import and subsequent export compliance treatment of civil aircraft parts that are sent to the United States for repair. This article is limited to US export and import law - but don't forget that the jurisdiction from which the aircraft parts is sent will have its own regulations. In the next issue, we will cover transactions where the article starts in the US and is exported for repair to a non-US location, with the intent that the article be returned to the US location after repair. In this issue's scenario, we examine an aircraft component that is sent to the United States for repair or alteration from a location outside of the US. This may be sent by an air carrier, a distributor of used aircraft parts, a repair station, or any other person outside the US who is shipping the part to the United States for repair.
