Compliance with security and safety regulations – particularly relating to national and international sanctions, arms or drugs trafficking, smuggling and counterfeit products – are a top priority for the CMA CGM Group.
In cooperation with the relevant national and international authorities, we make every effort to ensure compliance with these regulations, while the internal procedures in place are strictly applied throughout our agency network. Here is an outline of the CMA CGM Group’s internal procedures and some key measures concerning security and customs.

Regulations and procedures for shipments to Iran
CMA CGM makes every effort to ensure that no part of the bill of lading appears on any list of people or entities who are banned, such as the lists published by the United Nations, the European Union and the United States. At the same time, we strive to ensure that the Group does not transport any good prohibited by the United Nations, European Union and the United States, notably any merchandise which could directly and significantly facilitate the maintenance or expansion of Iranian production of oil refinery products, particularly any form of assistance towards the construction, modernisation or repair of oil refineries.
