I think your numbers are off. For example (empty weight):
Lear 45 is 13,000+ Lbs
Challenger is 20,000+ Lbs
G5 is 48,000+ lbs
None are subject to any screening of passengers or cargo. The only restrictions are to comply with the procedures of the customs & immigration officials of the country you are trying to enter.
