Frequently Asked Questions
What if a part is out of stock?
If a part is out of stock, you'll see availability status on the product page. For urgent needs, contact us or submit a Request Quote — we can often source parts from alternative suppliers, and we regularly acquire owned inventory via auction and purchase orders. Card payments are pre-authorized (not captured) until we confirm dispatch, so you're never charged for something we can't fulfill.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide from our Orlando, FL office. All international shipments use DDU terms (Delivered Duty Unpaid), meaning import duties, VAT, and local customs fees are paid by the consignee upon receipt. These fees vary by destination and are not included in the shipping quote. For Brazil specifically, we operate a dedicated air-freight channel.
Can I request a quote for parts not listed?
Absolutely. Use our Request Quote form with the part number and any relevant details. We work with 90+ suppliers and can source most aviation parts on demand. Typical response time is one business day.
Do you provide export documentation?

How do international duties and taxes work?
Somma Aero ships DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid). This means the shipping price you pay at checkout covers freight only.

Rates vary by country and product classification — we recommend consulting your local customs authority for estimates.
