What is changing:

(Original publication date: 16FEB2024)

The European Union has imposed its latest sanctions package under EU Regulation 833/2014. The adoption of the 12th sanctions package requires compliance from Lufthansa Cargo and all airlines within the Lufthansa Group. Given the carriers' limited capacity to verify compliance with these sanctions for each consignment, the responsibility for due diligence primarily lies with the shipper and forwarding agent.

Effective 1 March 2024, all "VAL" shipments containing goods such as diamonds, jewelry or watches with incorporated diamonds must include the statement "not subject to restrictions of Reg. EU 833/2014". This statement serves as a confirmation from the forwarder that a comprehensive due diligence process has been completed.

All shipments containing diamonds missing this statement in their goods description will be held at the point of origin for additional scrutiny before they are approved and dispatched.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation on this critical matter. Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact us at any time.
