- Check CASA website for a local type certificate or a local type acceptance certificate (in case the aircraft is unique to this region).
- Proper pre-purchase inspection by a reputable organisation.
- Check ALL documentation is in place (see above).
- Export CofA (sometimes not required, however, life is so much easier this end when an import arrives with a proper export CofA).
- Good Customs Agent (not a big expense but a paperwork snafu can strand an import at it's point of entry followed by expensive daily parking/storage fees)
- Fat Wallet :-).
