There's a word for that kind of activity.  "Smuggling" comes to
mind.  This is not to say that it doesn't happen, or should or
shouldn't happen.

There are also classes of goods for which the US shipper accepts
responsibility for non-transferance to prohibited countries.

No, but it's already complex, whether it needs to be or not.  You
may want to think twice before attracting the attention of people
whose job it will be to make your life miserable.
