Recent trade deals have created a significant cost-saving opportunity for aerospace importers. Civil aircraft parts from key global partners may now qualify for duty-free treatment. However, if these new exemptions are not applied correctly at the time of import, your business could be paying thousands in unnecessary duties. To capitalize on this, companies must move from passive acceptance of broker entries to active financial oversight.
Leverage New Duty-Free Exemptions
The regulatory landscape has shifted in favor of the importer. You may now be eligible for duty-free treatment on civil aircraft parts imported from the United Kingdom (effective June 23), the European Union (effective September 1), and Japan (effective September 16). Awareness is the first step; ensuring your supply chain data reflects these specific origin dates is critical to stopping the cash bleed at the border.
Stop Overpayment with Proactive Audits
If your customs broker isn’t correctly applying the civil aircraft part exemption for these imports, you are overpaying. Caspian’s solution involves proactive audits to ensure entries are processed accurately. We provide real-time visibility into your import activity summarized in a one-page snapshot—allowing for effortless review. This ensures you take full advantage of every exemption available the moment the goods arrive.
Recover Past Costs via Duty Drawback
Even if duties were applied correctly (or incorrectly paid) on past shipments, that money isn't lost. Utilizing the Duty Drawback program, we can help you recover up to 99% of those duties. This turns your past import costs into future refunds, ensuring that missed opportunities in the past don't become permanent financial losses.
