Mike & Jack,
Don't worry about tariffs. The Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft eliminated
customs duties (i.e., tariffs) on trade in civil aircraft and parts among the
signatories to the agreement. See Article 2 and the tariff schedules at the end
of the agreement. Now, I confess that I'm way out of date as to the effect on
this of Mr. Trump's unhinged dabbling in the world of tariffs, but it looks
like the Aerospace Industries Association is worried about it. Finally, the
item from the US Trade Representative contains a list of signatories to the
agreement (apparently USTR hasn't noticed that the UK is no longer part of the
EU, but since the EU members all signed in their own right that isn't relevant
for this discussion, but I just couldn't resist a little snark).
Cheers, GentsBob Robeson

Even better: They're Pratt engines, so we're talking Connecticut to Europe
then back to Atlanta or wherever, and there are duties?  Now THAT is odd. I
wonder if Pratt has final assembly in Europe?Â

Delta strips engines off new Airbus jets to overcome US shortage
|
|
Delta Air Lines Inc. has been cannibalizing new Airbus SE jets in Europe by
stripping off their engines and using them to get grounded planes in the US
back into service, as it seeks to overcome a shortage and avoid aircraft import
tariffs. The airline has been taking US-made Pratt & Whitney engines off new
European-built A321neos and shipping them back to the States without any
duties, according to people familiar with the matter. The engine-less aircraft,
meanwhile, remain in Europe. Mary Schlangenstein & Siddharth Philip/Bloomberg
