Dangerous Goods Compliance for Aerospace

The Aerospace Industry encompasses the design, manufacturing, testing, and deployment of aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and related systems. It serves both commercial and defense sectors and is characterized by high-value, precision-engineered components that demand specialized handling and logistics support.

Aerospace components—such as avionics, engines, wing assemblies, and landing gear—require custom crating, shock-resistant packaging, and climate-controlled storage to prevent damage during transit. Whether it is very large, delicate wing assemblies, door crates or wheel assemblies, DGM has extensive experience in providing wooden crates and/or corrugated boxes complete with foam linings to protect your valuable cargo.

Many aerospace shipments involve hazardous materials (e.g., lithium batteries, pressurized systems, composite chemicals) that fall under dangerous goods classifications. Logistics providers must ensure full compliance with IATA, ICAO, DOT, and ITAR regulations.

Aerospace parts often require detailed documentation, including serial tracking, itemized tagging, and export control paperwork. Packing must support traceability and meet strict quality assurance standards.

Transporting large or out-of-gauge aerospace components—such as fuselage sections or satellite modules—requires specialized equipment, blocking and bracing, and coordination with carriers for flat racks, open tops, or air freight solutions.

Given the strategic nature of aerospace cargo, secure warehousing, tamper-proof packaging, and comprehensive liability coverage are essential.

DGM’s expertise in dangerous goods, project cargo, and high-value freight makes it a trusted resource for aerospace logistics.
