Advisory 

Circular

Subject: EXPORT AIRWORTHINESS 

APPROVAL PROCEDURES

Date: 9/30/2003 

Initiated by: AIR-200 

AC No. 21-2K 

Change: ____________________________________________________________

1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular (AC) contains information and guidance on procedures for 

exporting aeronautical products and incorporates by reference related special requirements submitted to 

the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) by other governments. Additionally, this AC provides 

general information, guidance and application instructions for issuance of export certificate of 

airworthiness for Class I products and export airworthiness approvals for Class II and Class III products. 

This AC provides an acceptable means, but not the only means, for compliance with Title 14 Code of

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 21, Certification Procedures for Products and Parts, subpart L, 

Export Airworthiness Approvals. 

2. CANCELLATION. AC 21-2J, Export Airworthiness Approval Procedures, dated June 27, 2000, is 

canceled. 

3. EXPLANATION OF MAJOR CHANGES.

a. Paragraph 11(a)(1) NOTE was added and states that compliance with importing country’s special 

requirements, e.g., installation of emergency equipment required by the importing country, does not 

require a document to approve or allow the installation. 

b. Paragraph 13(c)(1) is revised to reflect the policy contained in Federal Register Notice Volume

68, Number 48, pages 11759-11760 [03-5326], with respect to work performed on products and/or parts 

that have left the production approval holder’s quality system. 

c. Appendix 1 has been revised to include the current revision of FAA Form 8130-1. 

d. Appendix 2, Special Requirements of Importing Countries and Jurisdictions, was removed and 

relocated to an FAA Internet site upon publication of revision J of this Advisory Circular. The current 

location of this site is http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/international/export_aw_proc/sp_req_import/ 

Relocating appendix 2 to the Internet provides immediate access to current import requirements. 

e. Appendix 3, FAA Aircraft Certification Office and International Flight Standards Field Office 

Contacts For Other Countries, has been revised to reflect current addresses and phone numbers. 

4. FORMAT. This AC has been reformatted to contain only the export airworthiness procedures. The 

Special Requirements of Importing Countries and Jurisdictions described in paragraph 3b of this AC are 

provided on the Internet in their original format as submitted by each country or jurisdiction. The FAA
AC 21-2K 9/30/2003 

has recently begun a process to review and suggest standardization to special requirements as they are 

submitted. Format inconsistencies and nonconformance with the United States Government Printing 

Office Style Manual and FAA directives may be observed. For any assistance with interpretations or to 

request, a printed copy of the Special Requirements of Importing Countries and Jurisdictions contact the 

following:

Federal Aviation Administration 

Production and Airworthiness Division, AIR-200 

800 Independence Avenue, SW

Washington, DC 20591 

Phone Number: 1-202-267-8361 

FAX Number: 1-202-267-5580 

5. RELATED READING MATERIAL. The latest edition of FAA Order 8130.2, Airworthiness 

Certification of Aircraft and Related Products, and FAA Order 8130.21, Procedures for Completion and 

Use of Authorized Release Certificate, FAA Form 8130-3, Airworthiness Approval Tag, should be used 

when interpreting this AC. 

6. DISCUSSION.

a. Persons desiring additional information or guidance on obtaining an export certificate of 

airworthiness or an export airworthiness approval may contact the nearest FAA Flight Standards District 

Office (FSDO), Flight Standards Service International Field Office, Aircraft Certification Office, 

Manufacturing Inspection Office, Manufacturing Inspection District/Satellite Office, or Certificate 

Management Office/Unit. Persons in other countries or jurisdictions who wish to import aeronautical 

products from the United States should contact the appropriate FAA Flight Standards Service 

International Field Office listed in appendix 3. 

b. The special requirements of the importing country or jurisdiction referred to in part 21, 

subpart L, include special conditions and/or additional requirements specified by the Civil Aviation 

Authority (CAA) of the importing country or jurisdiction. Special conditions and/or additional 

requirements may be found at http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/international/export_aw_proc/sp_req_import/

. When importing countries or jurisdictions impose special conditions or additional requirements, the 

FAA must certify the exporter’s compliance except as noted below: 

(1) Special requirements are administrative requirements that must be satisfied as a condition of 

shipment at the time of export. For example, they may involve the requirement for a United States 

Export Certificate of Airworthiness, copies of logbooks, flight manuals, etc. When a product does not 

meet the special requirements of an importing country or jurisdiction, the exporter must obtain a written 

statement from the CAA of the importing country or jurisdiction indicating the CAA will accept the 

deviation. This statement must accompany FAA Form 8130-1, Application for Export Certificate of 

Airworthiness. 

(2) Additional requirements are those deemed necessary by the importing country or jurisdiction, 

in addition to the exporting country’s or jurisdiction’s certification or approval basis, to provide a level 

of safety and environmental quality equivalent to the importing country’s or jurisdiction’s certification 

basis. When these requirements cannot or will not be satisfied, the exporter must obtain a written 

statement from the CAA of the importing country or jurisdiction indicating acceptance of the deviation.

Page 2 
9/30/2003 AC 21-2K 

 This statement must accompany the Form 8130-1. Exporters are encouraged to obtain 

information on additional requirements from the importing country’s or jurisdiction’s CAA. Additional 

requirements by the importing country or jurisdiction should be documented on Form 8130-1, block 10, 

when they constitute a difference to the type design. 

(3) Special conditions are airworthiness standards issued to cover unique and/or unusual design 

features that are not adequately covered by a country’s or jurisdiction’s applicable laws, regulations, or 

requirements. These special conditions should be included in the Type Certificate Data Sheets (TCDS) 

or Supplemental Type Certificates, as applicable. Special conditions for U.S. type certifications are 

issued in accordance with § 21.16. Exporters are encouraged to obtain information on special conditions 

from the importing country’s or jurisdiction’s CAA. 

NOTE: The Special Requirements of Importing Countries and Jurisdictions as 

described in paragraph 3a of this AC refer to various importing countries’ and 

jurisdictions’ internal technical documents. These documents are not normally 

available in FAA offices. In such cases, it will be necessary for interested 

person(s) to obtain those documents directly from the importing country’s or 

jurisdiction’s embassy. 

c. FAA Form 8130-4, Export Certificate of Airworthiness, certifies compliance with applicable 

airworthiness requirements but DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AUTHORITY TO OPERATE AN 

AIRCRAFT. Information and guidance concerning appropriate airworthiness certificates, flight permits, 

and special flight authorizations are contained in AC 20-65, U.S. Airworthiness Certificates and 

Authorizations for Operation of Domestic and Foreign Aircraft. 

7. TITLE 14 CFR § 21.323, ELIGIBILITY. Person(s) engaged in exporting civil aircraft and related 

products, including aircraft owners and their representatives, are eligible for an export airworthiness 

approval for a Class I or Class II product provided all pertinent requirements are met. A Class III 

product export airworthiness approval may only be issued by manufacturers (or their authorized 

suppliers) who have in their employ a designated representative of the Administrator authorized to issue 

that specific approval. The manufacturer must be a production approval holder (PAH) for that specific 

Class III product, (i.e., hold a Production Certificate (PC), an Approved Production Inspection System, a 

Parts Manufacturer Approval, or Technical Standard Order (TSO) authorization). Class III products, 

including standard parts as defined in § 21.321(b)(3), not produced under an FAA production approval 

are not eligible for issuance of Form 8130-3 for export. 

8. TITLE 14 CFR § 21.325, EXPORT AIRWORTHINESS APPROVALS. In general, an export 

airworthiness approval means that at the time and date signed, the product covered was found airworthy 

by the FAA and to be in compliance with the applicable CAA requirements. 

a. Export airworthiness approvals for Class I products are documented by issuance of Form 8130-4, 

Export Certificate of Airworthiness. Procedures for completion and use of Form 8130-4 may be found 

in Order 8130.2. The FAA or authorized designee will complete Form 8130-4 upon receipt of 

Form 8130-1 completed by the applicant. Procedures for completion of Form 8130-1 are found in 

paragraph 9 of this AC.

Page 3 
AC 21-2K 9/30/2003 

b. Export airworthiness approvals for Class II or Class III products are documented by issuance of 

an Authorized Release Certificate, FAA Form 8130-3, Airworthiness Approval Tag. Procedures for 

completion and use of Form 8130-3 may be found in Order 8130.21. 

9. TITLE 14 CFR § 21.327, APPLICATION. A separate application must be made for each aircraft, 

aircraft engine, or propeller EXCEPT that one application may be made for more than one engine or 

propeller, if all are of the same type and model and are exported to the same purchaser and country or 

jurisdiction. One application may be submitted for more than one type of Class II product when the 

products are separated and identified in the application as to the type and model of the related Class I 

product and they are exported to the same purchaser and country or jurisdiction. Class II products 

manufactured by a PC holder and Class III products produced by any PAH do not require a written 

application. In these cases, an oral application or request may be made to the FAA as specified in 

§ 21.327. A sample of Form 8130-1 is shown in appendix 1. Part I of the application should be 

completed for Class I products and Part II should be completed for Class II products. 

NOTE: A Class I product is defined as a complete aircraft, aircraft engine, or 

propeller. A Class II product is a major component of an aircraft, aircraft engine, 

or propeller, the failure of which would jeopardize the safety of a Class I product; 

or any part, material, or appliance, approved and manufactured under the TSO 

system in the “C” series. A Class III product is any part or component that is not a 

Class I or Class II product and includes standard parts (Reference § 21.321). 

a. Guidance for completion of Part I of Form 8130-1 (for Class I products). 

(1) Export Certificate No. Leave blank. 

(2) Items 1 and 2. Self-explanatory.

importing country or jurisdiction should be resolved between the exporter/importer and the CAA of that 

country or jurisdiction. 

(b) Under FAA Spec No., insert the pertinent specification number or TCDS number, 

whichever is applicable. 

(c) For used aircraft, insert the operating hours since the annual type inspection required 

Page 4 
9/30/2003 AC 21-2K 

by § 21.329(c) and total time in service. Except as provided in § 21.329(g), because used aircraft 

engines and propellers (which are not being exported as part of a certificated aircraft) must have been 

newly overhauled in accordance with § 21.329(e) to be eligible for export, the operating time since 

overhaul would reflect only run-in time as required to complete the overhaul process. 

(d) For aircraft, the blocks for engine (5B) and propeller (5C) should be completed to reflect 

the applicable information. 

(6) Items 6 and 7. These items are self-explanatory; however, if the Item 6 NO box is checked, 

explain the deviations in Item 10. If the Item 7 NO box is checked, attach the written confirmation of 

deviation acceptance from the CAA of the importing country or jurisdiction. 

(7) Item 8. This item provides a means of establishing a date the ownership of the Class I 

product is expected to pass to the purchaser. For leased aircraft, enter N/A in this block and explain in 

Item 10. 

(8) Item 9. This item provides a means of documenting the status of preservation and damage 

treatment, as required by the type certificate holder’s approved procedures or other procedures 

acceptable to the Administrator. 

(9) Item 10. This space is used to explain or clarify the information required under Items 6 and 

7. This space may also be used by the exporter to convey any other information necessary to facilitate 

issuance of the export airworthiness approval. Documentation that must be submitted with the 

application should be listed and additional sheets may be attached and cross-referenced as necessary. 

After review by the FAA representative, documents required to be furnished to the importing country or 

jurisdiction under § 21.335 will be returned to the applicant. 

(10) Item 11. This certification is to be dated and signed in a permanent-type ink by the exporter, 

with the name of the person signing the application typed or printed below. If the person signing the 

application is an authorized representative of the exporter, insert that person’s title in the space provided. 

A notarized statement authorizing the individual to represent the exporter in this transaction should be 

attached to the application and referenced in Item 10. 

b. Guidance for completion of Part II of Form 8130-1 (for Class II products). 

(1) Items 12 through 14. Self-explanatory. 

(2) Item 15. The instructions contained in Order 8130.21 for entering eligibility information 

should be used for item 15. 

NOTE: No entry is required in the “FAA Spec No.” box.

(3) Item 16. Self-explanatory. 

(4) Item 17. This space provides for a description and listing of the Class II products being 

exported. If the quantity and variety of the parts are too numerous to list in the space provided, check 

the second block, and on the line provided, specifically identify and attach a copy of the exporter’s 

shipping document covering the parts concerned. Otherwise, check the first block and list the parts in 

Page 5 
AC 21-2K 9/30/2003 

the space provided. In either case, if more than one type of Class II products is involved, they 

are to be listed according to the Class I product to which they pertain. List serial numbers or equivalent

means of identifying each physical product. 

(5) Item 18. This item is self-explanatory; however, if the NO box is checked, explain the 

noncompliance in Item 10, and attach the written confirmation of deviation acceptance from the CAA of 

the importing country or jurisdiction. 

(6) Item 19. This item provides a means of documenting the status of preservation and damage 

treatment as required by the manufacturer’s approved procedures or other procedures acceptable to the 

Administrator. It is recommended that all products be appropriately treated for corrosion and damage 

prevention. 

(7) Item 20. This certification is to be dated and signed in permanent-type ink by the exporter 

with the name of the person signing the application typed or printed below. If the person signing the 

application is the exporter’s authorized representative, insert that person’s title in the space provided. If 

the person signing the application is the exporter’s authorized representative, a notarized statement 

authorizing that individual to represent the exporter in this transaction should be attached to the 

application and referenced in Item 10. 

10. TITLE 14 CFR § 21.329, ISSUANCE OF FAA FORM 8130-4, EXPORT CERTIFICATE OF 

AIRWORTHINESS, FOR CLASS I PRODUCTS. Under this section, an aircraft of U.S. 

manufacture need not possess a standard or restricted airworthiness certificate; but it must meet the 

airworthiness requirements for such a certificate. Conversely, non-U.S. manufactured aircraft are 

required to be U.S.- registered and possess a valid U.S. Standard Airworthiness Certificate. 

11. TITLE 14 CFR § 21.335, RESPONSIBILITIES OF EXPORTERS. 

a. Show that a product meets the requirements of §§ 21.329, 21.331, and 21.333. 

(1) Ensure the product meets its type design, is in a condition for safe operation, and meets the 

importing country’s or jurisdiction’s CAA requirements. 

NOTE: Importing country’s special requirements are not considered 

exceptions to 14 CFR that require written acceptance as defined in 

paragraph (2). 

(2) Make the product available to the FAA representative for any inspection considered 

necessary. 

NOTE: A product not meeting the requirements of §§ 21.329, 21.331, or 21.333 

may be exported if the importing country’s or jurisdiction’s CAA indicates 

acceptance in writing. Requirements that are not met shall be listed or 

referenced on Form 8130-4 in the Exceptions block, or referenced in the 

Remarks block on Form 8130-3, as applicable.

Page 6 
9/30/2003 AC 21-2K 

b. When title to a U.S.-registered and certificated aircraft passes to a purchaser in another country 

or jurisdiction, § 21.335 requires the exporter to: 

(1) Request cancellation of the United States registration and airworthiness certificate, give the 

date of title transfer, and the name and address of the new owner. 

(2) Return the registration certificate, AC Form 8050-3, Certificate of Registration; 

FAA Form 8100-2, Standard Airworthiness Certificate; or FAA Form 8130-7, Special Airworthiness 

Certificate; as applicable, to the FAA Aircraft Registry. 

(3) Submit a statement certifying the U.S. registration marks have been removed from the 

aircraft in compliance with 14 CFR part 45, Identification and Registration Marking, § 45.33. 

NOTE: The above information should be submitted to the following address: 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Aircraft Registration Branch, AFS-750 

P.O. Box 25504 

Oklahoma City, OK 73125

c. If an importing country or jurisdiction requires design approval of a product prior to its export, 

then any application for type certification should be forwarded to the responsible ACO for transmittal to 

the appropriate aviation authority. 

12. TITLE 14 CFR § 21.339, SPECIAL EXPORT AIRWORTHINESS APPROVAL FOR 

AIRCRAFT. When an aircraft is exported under the provision of § 21.339, and title of the aircraft has 

passed to a purchaser from another country or jurisdiction, the exporter is to comply with § 21.335(e) 

(reference paragraphs 11a and 11b of this AC). 

13. DETERMINATION OF NEW, NEWLY OVERHAULED, AND USED PRODUCTS. 

a. Title 14 CFR does not define NEW or USED products. However, there are requirements that 

are pertinent to both new and used products in 14 CFR and in the special requirements of certain 

countries or jurisdictions. 

b. Aircraft engines, propellers, or Class II or III products that are removed for any reason and 

remain under the control of the PAH, and are then exported without any previous TIME IN SERVICE 

are considered NEW, since any time in service makes them used products. 

c. An aircraft may be considered NEW as long as the manufacturer or dealer retains its ownership 

and there is no intervening private owner, lease, or time-sharing arrangements, and the aircraft has not 

been used in any pilot training school and/or air taxi operation. An aircraft is still considered NEW

regardless of the amount of operating time logged by the manufacturer or dealer when: 

(1) Any work performed on the aircraft while under the control of the PAH’s quality system is 

accomplished in accordance with that system.

Page 7 
AC 21-2K 9/30/2003 

(2) The application for the Export Certificate of Airworthiness reflects the serial number of the 

aircraft and the total number of operating hours accumulated. The aircraft engine(s) and propeller(s) 

should also be identified by serial numbers followed by the total number of operating hours of each and 

the total elapsed time since the last 100-hour/annual inspection, if such an inspection has been 

accomplished. 

(3) The Export Certificate of Airworthiness reflects the information required by 

paragraph 13(c)(2) of this AC. 

(4) The aircraft has not been used in any revenue flights. 

d. Under § 21.321, the words NEWLY OVERHAULED (when used to describe a product) mean 

the product has not been operated or placed into service, except for functional testing, since having been 

overhauled, inspected, and approved for return to service in accordance with the applicable regulations. 

Class II products eligible for export approval may only be new or newly overhauled and conform to the 

requirements of 14 CFR part 43, Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding and Alteration, 

§ 43.2(a); be in a condition for safe operation; be identified with at least the manufacturer’s name, part 

number, model designation (when applicable), and serial number(s) or equivalent (when applicable), and 

meet the special or additional requirements of the importing country or jurisdiction. Serial number or 

equivalent includes but is not limited to batch numbers, lot numbers, work order numbers, or any 

sequence of letters or combination of numbers and letters established by the manufacturer or repair 

station to maintain traceability of their products. 

e. Class II products not meeting these requirements may be exported if the CAA of the importing 

country or jurisdiction provides written confirmation stating acceptance under § 21.327(e)(4). Class III 

products are eligible for export when the applicant shows the product conforms to the approved design 

data applicable to the Class I or Class II product of which it is a part; the product is in a condition for 

safe operation; and the product meets the special or additional requirements of the importing country or 

jurisdiction. A Class III product that is not NEW may be exported only when the CAA of the importing 

country or jurisdiction provides written confirmation stating acceptance of the product under 

§§ 21.333(b) and 21.327(e)(4). 

NOTE: Although newly overhauled products technically are used products, the 

terms new and newly overhauled are prescribed in part 21, subpart L, in order to 

distinguish between products eligible for Form 8130-3. Any products that are not 

NEW or NEWLY OVERHAULED are considered USED. Flight Standards 

Information Bulletin for Airworthiness, Bulletin Number FSAW 94-04, provides 

additional guidance when exporting used avionics. Contact your local FSDO for 

current information. 

f. If for any reason the previously listed information results in controversy or is contrary to existing 

special or additional requirements, the issue should be settled between the exporter, importer, and the 

CAA of the importing country or jurisdiction.
