Public Notice No. 41 (RE-2000)/1997-2002, issued on 3rd November 2000 by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, amends the Handbook of Procedures (Vol. 1) under the Export and Import Policy, 1997-2002. The amendment revises paragraph 4.2 of the Handbook, specifying that imports and exports are generally permitted to and from any country, except Iraq. However, the amendment allows the export of goods to Iraq and the import of goods from Iraq, provided prior approval is obtained from the relevant sanctions committee of the United Nations Security Council. This change aims to ensure compliance with international sanctions while facilitating trade with Iraq under specific conditions.
