Last updated: April 2026 dataBlades, combustion liners, nozzle guide vanes, gearboxes, and other components destined for turbojet or turbopropeller engines are traded under SITC 71491, a heading that sees substantial MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) activity alongside OEM supply chains. Airworthiness traceability is non-negotiable: each part must carry documentation — typically FAA Form 8130-3 or an EASA Form 1 — confirming it was manufactured or overhauled by an approved facility. Counterfeit aircraft parts (known as 'bogus parts') are a recognized enforcement priority for CBP and the FAA, making supplier vetting and chain-of-custody records essential.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Each airworthy part must be accompanied by an FAA Form 8130-3 (Authorized Release Certificate) or an equivalent bilateral aviation safety agreement (BASA) document such as an EASA Form 1. The certificate must identify the part number, serial number where applicable, the approving authority, and the condition of the article. Parts lacking this documentation cannot be installed on US-registered aircraft.
CBP works in coordination with the FAA and uses a combination of targeting algorithms, physical examination, and laboratory analysis to detect suspected bogus parts. Importers can reduce risk by purchasing only from FAA-approved manufacturers or distributors, maintaining complete supply-chain records, and enrolling in CBP's Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program, which can facilitate expedited clearance of vetted shipments.
