Secure, High-Integrity Logistics for Technology & Electronics

Technology and electronics are among the most valuable cargo categories in international trade. High value per unit creates elevated theft risk; sensitivity to temperature, humidity, and vibration makes container selection critical; and complex product certifications (CE, FCC, RoHS) add a compliance layer that generic forwarders often miss. Marwest LLC provides secure, tracked freight solutions for electronics manufacturers, technology distributors, and importers moving goods between China and global markets.

Key Challenges

Logistics Obstacles in This Sector

Cargo Security

High-value electronics attract cargo theft at every point in the supply chain — port CFS, vessel transit, and inland transport. We implement security protocols including sealed containers, GPS tracking, and secure CFS storage.

ESD & Vibration Sensitivity

Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge, shock, and vibration. Container selection, dunnage specification, and handling protocols must be designed for electronics.

Product Certification

Consumer electronics imported into the USA require FCC certification. EU-bound goods require CE marking. These must be in place before shipment to prevent port holds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Industry Logistics Questions Answered

FCC certification is required for all electronic devices that emit electromagnetic radiation — computers, phones, tablets, IoT devices, and similar products. It must be obtained before the goods are imported into the USA. We verify FCC ID numbers before shipment but do not issue certifications ourselves.

Yes. We can install GPS tracking devices on FCL containers, providing real-time location updates, door-open alerts, and temperature monitoring throughout the voyage. Tracking data is accessible via a client web portal.

We review your packaging specifications and advise on ESD-protective materials — anti-static bags, ESD foam, and conductive packaging — where appropriate. For high-value component shipments, we can arrange ESD-controlled CFS handling environments.

We arrange all-risk marine cargo insurance specifically designed for high-value electronics, covering physical damage, theft, water damage, and atmospheric damage. War risk and strikes cover is available as an add-on for high-risk routing.
