What makes Syria tricky
- Sanctions and conflict make most US-origin shipments to Syria restricted or impractical — we may be unable to service this lane.
- International sanctions and ongoing conflict heavily restrict shipments to Syria — confirm legal eligibility and feasibility before any enquiry.
- Latakia and Tartus are the seaports; routing, insurance, and compliance are the primary considerations.
