exporting a glider from USA to Europe

[[email protected]]

Anyone done this before out there in radio land?

I have a deal going down with a group in NL that want to buy a glider I
own.

What are the paperwork issues I need to be aware of when doing an
export sale?

Thanks

The Netherlands authorities will probably need an 'Export Certificate of
Airworthiness' and proof of deregistration in the US. I suspect that
somewhere along the line VAT is going to become due. This is payable at the
rate effective at the first point of entry to the EU.

There is a minor problem with import to the UK at the moment since we are
changing over to the EU way of doing things and 2005 is a 'transition year'
in other words the authorities ( BGA and CAA ) are not really 100% sure of
the requirements.
