trafficking routes
Illegal transport corridors
Trafficking routes are the pathways—overland, maritime, or aerial—used to transport illegal goods or people across borders.
The term appears most often in discussions of drug smuggling and human trafficking: Authorities have identified new trafficking routes through Central America.
Routes shift constantly as traffickers adapt to enforcement pressure, making interdiction a perpetual challenge.
