IRAN AND SYRIA SANCTIONS
1st May 2012
International pressure is increasing on both Iran and Syria for additional sanctions and multilateral action against certain types of transactions.
TNT Number One Business Principle is to comply with all laws, rules and regulations and trade regulations imposed by United Nations, European Union, United States, Australia and other regulatory bodies.
Many of these sanctions are targeted at the nuclear, petroleum, banking and insurance industries, also against individuals, organizations and companies that have been identified by and not limited to; the United Nations, European Union, United States and Australia. New sanctions have been imposed on people and entities in Iran and Syria.
When shipping commodities, information and/or technology which are not allowed to be freely exported, an appropriate license is required.
As part of TNT’s Export Controls compliance, effective immediately TNT requires the Iran and Syria Sanctions Customer statement to be signed before accepting your goods for transportation to Iran and / or Syria. A copy of this statement must be provided together with export paperwork and necessary trade documents.
