AEROSPACE COMPLIANCE

Simplify Complex Trade Compliance for Aerospace Organizations

Aerospace trade compliance starts with jurisdiction and classification. Is an aircraft component or related technology controlled under the USML, classified under a 9x515 or 600-series ECCN, or listed under another category of the Commerce Control List? Every export authorization, screening, and technical data decision depends on getting that determination right. Aerospace manufacturers, component suppliers, maintenance providers, and technology developers operate across international supply chains. Each organization must manage export controls, licensing requirements, restricted-party screening, and technical data transfers while maintaining consistent compliance records.

AEROSPACE CHALLENGES

Export Classification and Aerospace Trade Compliance Challenges

Aerospace organizations manage complex products, controlled technologies, international suppliers, and cross-border transactions. Different export control requirements apply to aircraft components, avionics, propulsion systems, software, and technical data, making consistent classification, authorization management, and recordkeeping essential.

01

Jurisdiction & Classification

Determining whether aircraft components, avionics, propulsion systems, and related technologies fall under the USML or CCL requires detailed technical analysis. Applying the correct ECCN, including relevant 9x515 and 600-series classifications, adds further complexity.

02

Export Authorizations & Licensing

Aerospace exports, technical data transfers, and international manufacturing arrangements require export authorizations. Teams must track license scope, provisos, quantities, values, and conditions across shipments and transactions.

03

International Supply Chain Screening

Aerospace manufacturers work with global suppliers, maintenance providers, distributors, and customers. Screening parties and destinations against restricted-party lists, sanctions, and export restrictions is essential.

04

Technical Data & Recordkeeping

Engineering drawings, specifications, software, and manufacturing data fall under export controls when classified as controlled. Organizations must manage foreign-person access, maintain transaction records, and document classification and authorization decisions.

Connect Aerospace Trade Compliance From Classification to Audit

TCW’s AI agents, designed by trade compliance practitioners, handle the research and analysis behind classification, screening and authorization decisions. Every recommendation cites its regulatory basis. Your team reviews, approves and owns every decision.

Tools Designed for Complex Aerospace Trade Requirements

Aerospace trade compliance requires coordination across aircraft components, avionics, propulsion systems, software, technical data, suppliers, customers, and international transactions. TCW connects these activities through structured compliance workflows.

01 / CLASSIFICATION

Aerospace Product Classification

TCW determines jurisdiction and classifies aircraft components, avionics, propulsion systems, software, and technical data under the USML and Commerce Control List (CCL), including relevant 9x515 and 600-series ECCNs, with regulatory citations and expert review.

02 / SCREENING

Party & Destination Screening

TCW screens aerospace customers, suppliers, distributors, and business partners against restricted-party lists and checks destinations against sanctions, embargoes, and ITAR §126.1 restrictions.

03 / AUTHORIZATIONS

Export Authorizations

TCW manages DSP-5s, Technical Assistance Agreements (TAAs), Manufacturing License Agreements (MLAs), and BIS licenses. TCW tracks authorized quantities and values, monitors provisos and conditions, and documents ITAR exemptions and EAR license exceptions.

04 / REPORTING

Aerospace Compliance Knowledge Management

TCW centralizes aerospace export control regulations, classification decisions, technical documentation, internal policies, and institutional expertise to maintain consistent compliance processes.

TCW’s six modules: Classification, Screening, Authorizations, Transaction Operations, Monitoring & Audit, and Knowledge Management. TCW connects with your ERP, PLM and CRM systems and with sanctions and restricted-party data sources.
