EXPLANATION OF NOTES
1. These bilateral agreements contain a third-country provision that provides for import/export certification of products by the CAA of a country other than the country of manufacture. In these instances, the exporting country must certify that the products conform to the design covered by the certificate or approval of the importing country (which would be other than country of manufacture) and that the products are in proper state of airworthiness.
This provision only applies when all three countries (i.e., manufacturing, importing, and exporting countries) have similar agreements for the reciprocal acceptance of such certifications covering the same class of products. The specific text of the applicable bilateral agreements should be consulted for any limitations.
2. The U.S. has bilateral agreements with these countries which provide for the reciprocal acceptance of conformity inspections (certificates of conformity) for components (i.e., materials, parts, and subassemblies) produced within the limits of each particular bilateral, provided that:
a. An agreement exists between the manufacturers in the importing and exporting countries;
b. The component is of such complexity that a determination of conformity cannot readily be made by the manufacturer in the importing country;
c. The airworthiness authorities of the importing country have notified the airworthiness authorities of the exporting country of the applicable design, test, and quality control requirements; and
d. The authority of the exporting country is willing to undertake the conformity inspection task.
3. The U.S./Australian BAA contains a two-party country provision, which provides for:
a. Reciprocal certification whereby Australia can issue an export certificate for a U.S.-manufactured product located in that country which is to be exported to the U.S.
b. Conversely, the U.S. can issue an export certificate for an Australian-manufactured product which is located in the U.S. and which is to be exported to Australia.

APPENDIX 4. SUMMARY OF PRODUCTS ELIGIBLE FOR U.S. IMPORT UNDER BILATERAL AGREEMENTS (Continued) (AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2004)
c. Such certifications will state that the product conforms to the importing country's type design and is in a proper state of airworthiness.
4. The U.S.- Brazil BASA IPA, signed on March 30, 2004, limits U.S. acceptance of Brazilian products to airplanes and appliances, but also provides for U.S. acceptance of STCs on Brazilian airplanes.
5. The U.S./Canada BASA IPA in October 2000, includes reciprocal acceptance of all aeronautical products, including restricted category aircraft, replacement parts, and STC’s.
These Implementation Procedures replace the Schedule of Implementation Procedures of 1988, with the exception of chapter 4, Maintenance, Alteration or Modification of Aeronautical Products, which remains in effect until Maintenance Implementation Procedures are concluded.
6. The Schedule of Implementation Procedures for the U.S./China BAA provides for U.S. acceptance of certain Chinese TSO appliances, fixed-wing aircraft not exceeding 12,500 lbs., and commuter category airplanes up to 19 passengers with a maximum certificated take-off weight of 19,000 lbs.
7. The U.S./Finland BAA is limited to acceptance of glider aircraft and appliances from each country. Although this bilateral agreement contains a provision for including appliances and replacement or modification parts therefore, by mutual consent of both countries’ aviation authorities, no appliances nor replacement/modification parts have been included to date.
8. Maintenance Implementation Procedures were concluded with France in 1999 for reciprocal acceptance of repair station certifications (contact AFS-300).
9. Maintenance Implementation Procedures were concluded with Germany in 1997 for reciprocal acceptance of repair station certifications (contact AFS-300.) On June 2, 2002, the FAA and LBA signed Revision 1 of the U.S.-Germany BASA IPA (the original IPA was concluded in August 1999). This revision allows for U.S. acceptance of German STCs on U.S. and German products, as well as some Airbus models.
10. The Schedule of Implementation Procedures for the U.S./Indonesia BAA is limited, when exporting aeronautical products from Indonesia to the U.S., to the production approval and airworthiness certification or approval of civil aeronautical products for which the Indonesian manufacturer holds the manufacturing rights to a U.S. type certificate under a licensing agreement with a U.S. manufacturer, or with a manufacturer in another state with which the U.S. has an agreement for the reciprocal acceptance of type design certifications.
