Shipping ban (7)

I believe the answer is:

embargo

(Other definitions for embargo that I've seen before include "Official order forbidding something" , "Official prohibition as on trade" , "Trade barrier or publication ban" , "Commercial ban" , "Legal restraint" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
