Re-export control is the regulatory framework that monitors goods of controlled origin – such as dual-use items or products licensed under export control regimes like the Wassenaar Arrangement – when they are forwarded from an intermediate country to a third destination. Its purpose is to verify that the end-use, end-user, and destination remain consistent with the conditions of the original export licence, thereby preventing controlled goods from reaching prohibited parties through neutral transit countries. For freight forwarders, this means that any transshipment, route deviation, or change of consignee must be reported to the competent authority before the cargo moves. Non-compliance can result in administrative penalties, licence revocation, and, where sanctions circumvention is established, criminal liability.
