Creating embargoes and embargo lines

You can create embargoes in the Embargoes (tcgtc0180m000)orEmbargo (tcgtc0680m000) session.

When you create an embargo, you must:

  • Link the Regulatory Entity, that initiated the embargo.
  • Select the trade types (import/export) for which the embargo is applicable.
  • Set the priority for the embargo.

For an embargo, if the Export check box is selected, you can define:

  • The embargo lines in the Export Embargo Lines (tcgtc0181m000)orExport Embargo Line (tcgtc0681m000) session, to specify the countries or the country set to which the selected embargo is applicable during export.
  • The embargo item lines in the Export Embargo Item Lines (tcgtc0182m000) session to specify the items, item groups or HS codes to which the selected embargo is applicable during export.
  • The export embargo line exceptions in the Export Embargo Line Exceptions (tcgtc0183m000) session, to specify the one or more countries that can be excluded from the check during export.

For an embargo if the Import check box is selected, you can define:

  • The embargo lines in the Import Embargo Lines (tcgtc0181m100)orImport Embargo Line (tcgtc0681m100), session, to specify the countries or the country set to which the selected embargo is applicable during import.
  • The embargo item lines in the Import Embargo Item Lines (tcgtc0182m100) session to specify the items, item groups or HS codes to which the selected embargo is applicable during import.
  • The import embargo line exceptions in the Import Embargo Line Exceptions (tcgtc0183m100) session, to specify the one or more countries that can be excluded from the check during import.
Note: 
  • Embargo lines are date effective.
  • You cannot create more than one embargo line with the same trade type, range of countries/country set and effective period, for an active embargo.

For an import or export embargo line, you can select a set of items, item groups or HS codes to be included or excluded from the embargo, using these options:

  • Import Items
  • Import Item Groups
  • Import HS Codes
Note: To access the import options select Action > Import for Exclude/Import for Include

The status of the newly created embargo is set to Free. When you use the Activate option, the application sets status of the embargo to Active. You can also set the linked embargo lines to active using the Activate option for the line. The application selects the Active check box of the line.

Note: An embargo line is applicable for compliance check only if the embargo line and the related embargo are active.

When you use the De-activate option for:

  • An active embargo, the application updates the embargo status to Free.
  • An active embargo line, the application clears the Active check box of the line.

If an embargo is not applicable, you can use the Close option, the application updates the embargo status to Closed. For a closed embargo, you can use the Reopen option to update the embargo status to Free.
