Sehr geehrte Frau Davids,
I'm contacting you regarding a clarification request, which landed on my desk today.
The paragraph 2/3 and 7 are not in contradiction to each other.
Paragraph 2 describes the cargo, which is allowed to pass the libertonian borders, when coming from Rheinland.
Paragraph 3 describes the cargo restrictions for all Liberty corporations inside of Rheinland.
And paragraph 7 declares only the in §2 mentioned embargo as one-way-embargo (or how I like to say: "everything goes in, but only a bid goes out"), but it isn't in any relation to the Rheinland shipping regulations.
For your case: If the Cryer ship was transported prohibited cargo, paragraph 3 applies. If the pilot asked for permission to retreat to bering with his cargo, paragraph 2 applies. So the only chance to avoid a criminal database entry is the successful fining and cargo confiscation.
Of course the cargo can also be confiscated at the nearest station or planet, if the officer on duty isn't able to take the whole cargo.
