Transshipment
Also called: aktarma
Transferring goods from one means of transport to another during a journey, often at a hub port. In trade policy the word also describes illegally routing goods through a third country to disguise their origin and avoid duties or restrictions.
In practice
Legitimate hub transshipment is normal, but goods relabelled in a third country attract investigations and penalties as origin fraud.
