shipping ban

Export restriction order

A shipping ban is a prohibition on transporting goods to or from a particular place, typically imposed by governments as an economic sanction or trade restriction: The shipping ban on oil exports crippled the country's economy.

Shipping bans may target specific products, entire nations, or particular companies.

In fan communities, a shipping ban humorously refers to rules against discussing romantic pairings of characters.
