Violating an export ban by [[trade|trading]] any of the item away is a [[Justice|crime]] for each of the haulers who brought a prohibited item (that was sold) to the [[trade depot]] - each dwarf will be incriminated the instant the item is carried off the map (whether by a pack animal or a wagon). While selecting goods to be brought to the depot, the "culling on mandates" option will prevent banned objects from being selected, though if a finished goods bin contains a single banned object, the entire bin will be excluded. Items that are subject to export bans are displayed in purple text in the trade window. Note that if an item is traded to a caravan and is subsequently placed under an export ban, dwarves '''will''' be punished even though the trade took place before the ban went into effect, so if the caravan hasn't already left, any banned goods should be immediately purchased back from the traders; if a good was ''offered'', then nothing can be done (aside from exploiting various oddities in the trade system, or arranging an [[unfortunate accident]]). Oddly, trading banned items which were carried to the depot in [[bin]]s (but not the bins themselves) does ''not'' result in any perceived crimes, perhaps because only the bin was brought to the depot, not the items inside it; however, the noble that issued the mandate will receive an unhappy thought that nobody could be punished.{{verify}} | Violating an export ban by [[trade|trading]] any of the item away is a [[Justice|crime]] for each of the haulers who brought a prohibited item (that was sold) to the [[trade depot]] - each dwarf will be incriminated the instant the item is carried off the map (whether by a pack animal or a wagon).

Nobles with preferences for items you don't want excluded from trade or that are just too hard to produce (a judgment call) will be a problem for your fortress. You have, however, (limited) control over choosing one noble who makes mandates, for example when appointing your [[baron]], or overriding dwarven elections by appointing a [[Mayor]] you prefer. Choose your baron or mayor wisely: take a look at their preferences, and decide if they might be a problem. Large gems for example are only created very rarely and randomly when cutting up rough gems at a [[jeweler's workshop|jeweller's shop]], so receiving regular mandates for the production of two or three of them can take inordinate mining and gem-cutting efforts. But even a ban on the export of [[mug]]s can be a problem if a fort relies on them as a trade good. If unavoidable, such nobles may be destined for an [[unfortunate accident]] - for the good of the fortress as a whole. | Nobles with preferences for items you don't want excluded from trade or that are just too hard to produce (a judgment call) will be a problem for your fortress.
