Transshipment
Transshipment covers the transport of goods to an intermediate location outside the exporting and importing states, where they are loaded to a different transport vessel and transported to their final destination (or additional point of transshipment) without crossing the territory of the state in which the transloading takes place.
Transhipment usually takes place in transport hubs at ports and often takes place within designated customs areas, which are not subject to customs checks or duties.International Small Arms Control Standards (ISACS) 01.20: 'Glossary of terms, definitions and abbreviations', http://www.smallarmsstandards.org/.
