Aerospace and defence logistics demands an exceptional standard of security, documentation, and regulatory compliance. Whether managing aircraft component imports, ground support equipment, or defence-related materials, every movement must satisfy export control regulations, customs security requirements, and specific airworthiness standards. Marwest LLC provides compliant, secure freight solutions for aerospace manufacturers, MRO operators, and defence contractors requiring reliable logistics support.
US aerospace and defence exports are subject to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and EAR (Export Administration Regulations). Non-compliance carries severe criminal penalties.
Aircraft parts must be accompanied by FAA Form 8130-3 or EASA Form 1 release certificates. Missing or incorrect airworthiness documentation grounds aircraft.
Known Consignor and Regulated Agent status required for air cargo entering commercial aviation. All tendered air cargo must meet TSA security requirements.
Marwest LLC holds TSA Known Shipper status, enabling us to tender cargo to passenger airlines and all-cargo carriers for US domestic and international air freight.
