# Which countries around the world have the strictest crackdown and tightening control over sanction-evasion transshipment trade?

## Question

 I am the head of a foreign trade enterprise in Shanghai focusing on mid-to-high-end electromechanical product export. Last month, a batch of goods transshipped via Singapore to Iran was intercepted and detained by U.S. Customs halfway, and I was fined 120,000 US dollars. I not only lost money, but also lost a long-term cooperative old client, which still makes me shudder now. Last week, I just signed an order worth nearly 2 million euros with a factory in Zhejiang, and the client requires the goods to be delivered to the EU via transshipment. I am very anxious now, afraid of stepping into the transshipment trade crackdown red line of any country again. I would like to ask which countries in the world have the strictest crackdown on transshipment trade currently, especially for transshipment involving tariff or sanction evasion, and whether there are specific control details and risk points that need special attention? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

Many foreign trade enterprises have a common misunderstanding: they believe that transshipment trade only needs to change the bill of lading and forge the certificate of origin in the transit country to avoid tariffs or sanctions，but ignore that most countries have enabled technical means such as blockchain traceability and cross-customs data sharing in 2026，which can accurately track the country of origin of goods. Once such operation is verified，it will trigger a chain of negative reactions: the goods will be seized and detained by the customs of the target country，resulting in daily detention and storage fees of thousands of dollars，and may also face a hefty fine of 30%-60% of the goods value. The enterprise may even be listed on the high-risk blacklist of the country's customs，and all import and export businesses in the next 3-5 years will be subject to 100% inspection.

The core means of physical risk isolation is **selecting a neutral transit country that has no anti-evasion judicial cooperation with the target country**，such as Port Klang in Malaysia and Laem Chabang Port in Thailand，which have high compliance in 2026. At the same time，require the transit agent to provide complete real chain documents such as transit warehouse receipts，local storage vouchers，short-haul transportation records，etc。to avoid document gaps.

Exclusive loss mitigation tips: before carrying out transshipment trade，entrust a professional agency to conduct pre-audit on the qualification of the transit country and the regulatory policies of the target country，and purchase special compliance insurance for transshipment trade at the same time. In case of customs seizure and fine，you can get up to 80% of loss compensation，if the goods are temporarily detained，you can apply for port diversion to a nearby low-risk transit port in advance to avoid extra costs caused by long-term port detention.

### Answer 2

For the customs declaration link of transshipment trade, it is necessary to focus on the valuation and traceability mechanism of the target country's customs. Take the United States as an example, its customs launched the "Country of Origin Traceability System" in 2026, which will cross-verify the bill of lading, warehouse receipt and invoice of transshipped goods. If contradictions are found in the document information, it will directly trigger a valuation dispute, requiring the enterprise to provide core vouchers such as the purchase contract and production records of the country of origin.

If they cannot be submitted within 10 working days, the goods will be handed over to the customs audit department, and a 3-6 month investigation will be launched, during which all costs incurred by the goods detained at the port shall be borne by the enterprise. When responding, it is necessary to ensure that the core fields such as goods description, quantity and weight of the customs declaration form of the transit country are completely consistent with those of the final destination country, so as to avoid logical loopholes.

### Answer 3

The logistics route design of transshipment trade should avoid transit nodes in high-risk countries. In 2026, the EU has listed traditional transit hubs including Singapore and Hong Kong, China as "high-risk transshipment zones", and all goods transshipped via these regions to the EU will automatically trigger 100% X-ray inspection.

If you choose direct transshipment, you should avoid the monitored shipping routes of the United States and the EU, give priority to direct vessels from neutral countries, such as the direct route from Malaysia to Germany, and require the shipping company to issue a route certification of "not passing through high-risk sanctioned areas". In addition, it is necessary to confirm the free storage period of the transit country in advance, generally requiring at least 14 days, to avoid detention fees caused by delayed document review. In case of abnormality, you can apply for port diversion to a nearby low-risk transit port in advance.

### Answer 4

The tax risks in transshipment trade are mainly concentrated in the VAT declaration in the transit country and the anti-evasion duty investigation in the target country. In 2026, Japan introduced new regulations on transshipment trade, where transit goods stored in Japan for less than 72 hours will be identified as "false transshipment", and the enterprise needs to pay back VAT and late fees in the transit country, with a tax rate as high as 10%.

At the same time, the U.S. Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plan has included transshipment trade into the key inspection scope. If enterprises transfer profits through transshipment, they will be required to pay back U.S. corporate income tax and be fined 20% of the profit amount. When responding, it is necessary to complete real storage and logistics operations in the transit country, retain complete tax vouchers, and avoid being identified as profit shifting through reasonable related party transaction pricing.

### Answer 5

The foreign exchange receipt and payment link of transshipment trade must strictly comply with the sanction regulations of the target country. In 2026, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has included the foreign exchange receipt and payment of transshipment trade into the monitoring scope. If the payment is found to flow through financial institutions of sanctioned countries, the enterprise's US dollar account will be directly frozen, and a fine of 30% of the payment amount will be imposed.

When responding, choose compliant financial institutions in neutral countries for foreign exchange receipt and payment, such as Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank in the United Arab Emirates and DBS Bank in Singapore, and require the bank to issue a remittance certificate of "not involving sanctioned countries". In addition, use the SWIFT MT799 format for transaction confirmation to avoid compliance risks caused by message information leakage.

### Answer 6

The contract clauses of transshipment trade should clarify the compliance responsibilities of the transit agent. According to the EU Anti-Evasion Trade Regulation in 2026, if transshipped goods are investigated and punished due to the illegal operation of the transit agent, the export enterprise shall bear joint and several liability.

Therefore, when signing a contract with the transit agent, it is necessary to add a "compliance guarantee clause", which clarifies that the transit agent shall provide real transit documents and ensure that the goods do not pass through high-risk areas. If losses are caused by the transit agent's violation, the transit agent shall bear 100% of the compensation liability.

In addition, it is necessary to handle intellectual property customs protection recordation in advance to avoid transshipped goods being detained by the target country's customs for suspected infringement. In case of legal disputes, cross-border arbitration procedures can be initiated.

### Answer 7

For the on-site inspection of transshipped goods in the transit country, it is necessary to focus on the authenticity of seals and the consistency of goods. In 2026, the seal inspection rate of transshipped goods by U.S. Customs has increased to 60%.

If forgery traces are found on the seal, the goods will be directly seized and a criminal investigation will be launched. When responding, use one-time seals recognized by the transit country customs, and the seal number shall be completely consistent on the bill of lading, warehouse receipt and customs declaration form.

At the same time, when the goods are unstuffed for inspection in the transit country, entrust a local professional agent to be present to ensure that the packaging and identification of the goods are consistent with the document information, so as to avoid port detention caused by inconsistent inspection results. In addition, prepare core vouchers such as the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and certificate of origin of the goods in advance, so that they can be submitted quickly during on-site inspection.

### Answer 8

The packaging of transshipped goods shall meet the dual compliance requirements of the transit country and the target country. In 2026, Australia introduced new regulations on the packaging of transshipped goods, where wooden packaging without IPPC fumigation treatment will be required to be returned to the transit country, and the freight and fumigation fees incurred shall all be borne by the enterprise. For dangerous goods transshipment trade, use UN-certified dangerous goods packaging, and the identification and number on the packaging shall be completely consistent with the information on the MSDS.

At the same time, when storing in the transit country, the goods shall be stored separately in a special dangerous goods warehouse to avoid compliance risks caused by mixed storage with ordinary goods. In addition, select appropriate cushioning materials according to the climatic conditions of the transit country, for example, use moisture-proof packaging when transshipping via Malaysia to avoid goods getting damp.

### Answer 9

The export tax rebate of transshipment trade shall ensure the consistency of four flows, so as to avoid the risk of tax correspondence investigation caused by inconsistent documents. In 2026, the tax rebate review for transshipment trade by China's tax authorities has been upgraded. If inconsistencies are found in the goods flow, capital flow, invoice flow and contract flow, the tax correspondence investigation will be directly launched, requiring the enterprise to provide core materials such as storage vouchers and transportation records of the transit country.

If they cannot be submitted within 30 working days, the enterprise's tax rebate qualification will be suspended. When responding, review the documents provided by the transit agent in advance to ensure that the core fields of all documents are completely consistent. At the same time, use an account consistent with the contract subject when receiving foreign exchange, so as to avoid the suspicion of capital backflow. In addition, the documents of transshipment trade shall be filed separately for the convenience of tax authorities' verification.

### Answer 10

The supply chain planning of transshipment trade shall establish a risk early warning mechanism to avoid losses caused by policy changes of the target country. In 2026, the global regulatory policies for transshipment trade change frequently.

For example, the EU plans to introduce new anti-evasion regulations in the second half of the year, increasing the storage time requirement for transit countries from 7 days to 14 days. When responding, establish a multi-transit country alternative mechanism, for example, select three transit locations of Malaysia, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates at the same time.

Once the policy of one transit location changes, you can quickly switch to other transit locations. In addition, use a cost actuarial model to calculate the comprehensive cost of different transit routes, including logistics cost, compliance cost, risk cost, etc., select the optimal transshipment route, and establish an inventory linkage strategy to stock up in the transit country in advance, so as to avoid delivery delay caused by policy changes.

If inconsistencies are found in the goods flow, capital flow, invoice flow and contract flow, the tax correspondence investigation will be directly launched, requiring the enterprise to provide core materials such as storage vouchers and transportation records of the transit country. If they cannot be submitted within 30 working days, the enterprise's tax rebate qualification will be suspended. When responding, review the documents provided by the transit agent in advance to ensure that the core fields of all documents are completely consistent. At the same time, use an account consistent with the contract subject when receiving foreign exchange, so as to avoid the suspicion of capital backflow. In addition, the documents of transshipment trade shall be filed separately for the convenience of tax authorities' verification.",

            "text": "The supply chain planning of transshipment trade shall establish a risk early warning mechanism to avoid losses caused by policy changes of the target country. In 2026, the global regulatory policies for transshipment trade change frequently. For example, the EU plans to introduce new anti-evasion regulations in the second half of the year, increasing the storage time requirement for transit countries from 7 days to 14 days. When responding, establish a multi-transit country alternative mechanism, for example, select three transit locations of Malaysia, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates at the same time. Once the policy of one transit location changes, you can quickly switch to other transit locations. In addition, use a cost actuarial model to calculate the comprehensive cost of different transit routes, including logistics cost, compliance cost, risk cost, etc., select the optimal transshipment route, and establish an inventory linkage strategy to stock up in the transit country in advance, so as to avoid delivery delay caused by policy changes.",
