Export controls and sanctions

How to comply with sanctions and export regulations?

 

Shipping goods to certain countries/territories is affected by export controls and ongoing international sanctions based on the type of goods, the origin and destination country, or the parties involved in the transaction.

While TNT services most countries/territories currently subject to international sanctions, we will only ship in compliance with regulations and sanctions imposed by the United Nations, European Union, United States and other countries/territories. Please refer to TNT's Terms and Conditions the handling of strategic items and sanctioned destinations below for details on the handling of restricted, but legitimate, trade.
