Millions of shipping containers move across borders every day, making it impossible to check every shipment or invoice.

Criminals exploit these gaps to hide money from crime through seemingly legitimate trade. Unlike smuggling, the goods themselves are often legal. The trade transaction is used to disguise criminal money.

Detecting these schemes is difficult. Customs authorities see goods moving across borders while financial investigators see suspicious payments. Criminals exploit these blind spots.
