No use to go to US reg. To my knowledge they receive the same treatment returning to the US from a foreign place
Negative, totally incorrect.
US registered aircraft under 100,000 pounds MTOW, waivers are unnecessary for returning to the USA.
File via eAPIS on the internet for TSA/customs, and fly inbound.
No problems if done correctly.
IE: follow the plot, done deal.
Folks with Cessnas returning from Mexico and Canada do this all the time.
Note:
IF you are leaving the US for hunting with rifles, file Customs form 4457 (firearms registration) prior to departure, as to be able to show customs upon returning that you left with the same firearms.

NB.
And yes, there are those cheap folks who invite hassle by not using a handling agent with their very expensive bizjet...they then deserve all the problems that they receive because...I told you so.
