International Shipping Compliance Policy
v1.0 · Effective 2026-05-26 · IKEOCEAN® LLC, DBA ShipHub™
Compliance obligations for international shipments across all jurisdictions served by ShipHub™.
1. 1. Applicable Law
You agree to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, conventions, and treaties governing international shipping, including but not limited to the U.S. Foreign Trade Regulations, U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions, EU Dual-Use Regulation, IMO/IATA dangerous goods rules, Basel Convention, CITES, Montreal Protocol, World Customs Organization rules, and the laws of each origin, transit, and destination country.
2. 2. Documentation
You must provide complete and accurate commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, licenses, end-use statements, dangerous-goods declarations, and any other documentation required by applicable authorities. ShipHub™ relies on the documents you supply.
3. 3. Screening
ShipHub™ may screen parties, commodities, and routes against denied-persons lists, sanctioned-country lists, and high-risk corridors. A passing screen does not constitute legal advice or a warranty of compliance.
4. 4. Indemnification
You indemnify ShipHub™ in full against any fine, penalty, seizure, enforcement action, or loss arising from any actual or alleged violation of international compliance obligations relating to your shipments.
5. Governing Law, Venue & Dispute Resolution
This document is governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this document or the Services shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, with the seat of arbitration in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. The arbitrator's award shall be final, non-appealable, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You expressly waive any right to a trial by jury and any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action against ShipHub™. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year of the event giving rise to it or be permanently barred.
