illegal export

Banned outbound goods

Illegal export is the shipment of goods or materials out of a country in violation of laws or regulations.

Some items are banned from export entirely—weapons, endangered species, cultural artifacts, controlled technologies.

Others require licenses or permits that weren't obtained: He was convicted of illegal export of military equipment to sanctioned nations.

The term appears in trade law, customs enforcement, and sanctions regimes.
