Are FAA certifications included in the customs value?

When FAA certification is inherent to the product and the component cannot be acquired without it, it is part of the transaction value. Camtom integrates these costs automatically.

How do I handle million-dollar technical assistance in the MVE?

Technical assistance is prorated among all units that benefit from it. Camtom calculates the proration based on total contract quantity and applies it per shipment.

Does the MVE apply for components under the SE aerospace program?

Yes. The MVE is mandatory for all imports. The benefits of the SE aerospace sectoral program are tariff-related and do not exempt from the MVE.

How do I value a component reimported after repair?

The repair cost plus freight is declared as the transaction value, not the total component value. Camtom generates the MVE with this methodology for return reimportations.

Does Camtom handle aerospace price confidentiality?

Yes. Information entered into Camtom is protected with end-to-end encryption. Declared values are only transmitted to VUCEM, never shared with third parties.

MVE by industry

MVE for the aerospace industry

The aerospace industry imports high-technology components with valuations involving massive technical assistance, international certifications (FAA, EASA) and long-term contracts with price adjustments. The MVE for this industry requires precise handling of technology and certification additions. Camtom automates these complex calculations.
