How to set an embargo on a country?

Avoid shipping cargo to sanctioned countries.

It can occur that you need to set an embargo on a specific country. To avoid sending shipments to sanctioned countries, you can set embargoes in the Countries application in Scope. In the top bar of the Countries application (Master Data > Countries) you can click on Embargos... and open a table where you can enter the countries for which an embargo is applicable. To activate the changes, exit and restart Scope. When you use a country that is flagged with an embargo, a red validation message will appear notifying you that an embargo is applicable. Users with a specific permission can overrule the embargo for a shipment and release it.

To maintain and overrule embargoes, specific permissions are required. Please file a ticket by means of F12 in Scope or via https://service.riege.com/en/knowledge/kb-tickets/new

For the set-up, we will want to know who needs to maintain the embargoes in the Countries application. We will also want to know who may overrule the embargoes in the shipments. A specific permission is also available for users who may create a DMS export declaration (NL Customs) for an embargo shipment.

Approve Embargo/Withdraw Embargo Approval

In the title bar of the shipment, you will find the action link for Embargo.

By clicking on the Embargo option, you can access the menu item Approve Embargo to release the shipment from the embargo restrictions.

If the shipment has already been released from the embargo, you can reset the embargo approval from this menu (Withdraw Embargo Approval).
