Re-export risk is the hazard that goods initially exported to an authorized importer are subsequently redirected to a third country, resold, or diverted in ways that breach export controls, sanctions rules, embargoes, or origin regulations. Common scenarios include unauthorized transshipment, deviation from documented end use, false origin declarations, or routing to sanctioned destinations. Exporters and authorities mitigate this risk through due diligence, post-shipment controls, and supply chain transparency.
