What Are The Regulations For International Aircraft Transactions, Including Registration?
International deals involve multiple jurisdictions. This makes regulations increasingly complex. In addition to complying with U.S. law, you must comply with the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (also known as the Cape Town Convention). In addition, you must register an aircraft with the International Registry (IR).
Our attorneys regularly handle the intricacies of deregistration and export certificates. We skillfully manage cross-border registration and all import requirements. In every international transaction, we make sure that you are following every applicable law with no unpleasant surprises.
