Importing an Aircraft
 

Does anyone have any experience of buying an aircraft in the States and bringing it back into the UK ?

Given the good exchange rate at the moment, there are some bargains to be had ! Our group is contemplating the purchase of a Commander 114B.

What are the financial 'extras' that need to be paid - import tax? CAA registration? etc etc.

Thanks
Graeme

Hello

My company BIG MISTERS SHIPPING CO LTD does just that !

Give Jon Woods a call at the office and he will try and answer all your questions from a 'shipping' piont of veiw.

Please remember however to do your 'homework' regarding what work will be required to bring an N reg a/c up to CAA spec.

Your in the right place here on Pprune ! There is a wealth of information to be found + quite a few people who have already imported their own machines and can advise on the 'Dos' and 'Donts' ! ! !

Good luck + safe flying !

:ok:

Thanks for the info and link !
