English term or phrase: compounding
Hi all

I always thought that 'compounding' meant "con agravio" o "con agravante". Now, however, I am confronted with this new use of the term (new to me at least!) and I am struggling to translate it. HELP!!

The text I am translating has to do with exports controls. The section I am working on is entitled "Compound penalties". The title is followed by the this text:

"Compounding is currently only applicable in the U.K. It as a means by which Customs can offer the exporter the chance to settle a case without being referred to the Crown Prosecution Services, thus saving the taxpayer and company time and legal fees."

And then we have a list of examples which simply reflect the definition mentioned above.

Does anybody know what term can be used in Spanish to translate "compound" / "compounding" in this context.

Many thanks

cumulativo


Explanation:
Yo diría algo como cálculo cumulativo de sanciones.
En tu caso, el exportador solicita que le acumulen las sanciones impuestas a los fines de realizar un pago único por todas las sanciones en las que incurrió y así evitar que el caso se tramite o ventile en un tribunal ahorrándole tiempo y dinero en gastos legales inherentes al eventual juicio.

Compounding:

v. combinar, sintetizar; calcular cumulativamente; complicar, componer, hacer compuesto.

Good luck!

  -> Karin, le puse 3 a mi respuesta tratando de contextualizarla al texto en cuestión. Si estás tan seguro de que estoy equivocado porque no pones tu respuesta si estás tan seguro en lugar de perder el tiempo calificándome negativo?

Todo parece indicar que si es el significado en tu contexto

"Compounder= el que participa de una transacción compromiso
Compound= transar- llegar a un compromiso
Compounding= acto de transar o llegar a un compromiso"
