Definition & Explanation

Freight forwarders and MRO providers handling aviation parts for the U.S. market must use FAA-compliant warehouses – facilities that meet the safety, labeling, traceability, and record-keeping standards set by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. Operators must segregate serviceable and unserviceable stock, maintain full part history documentation, and follow strict handling protocols. An FAA authorization or recognized third-party certification is required to operate such a facility. For exporters supplying U.S. carriers or maintenance operators, FAA-compliant storage is a regulatory prerequisite: parts stored outside these conditions cannot legally be installed on U.S.-registered aircraft.
