Frequently asked questions

Which goods are under EU sanctions toward North Korea?

Goods covered by Council Regulation (EU) No 2017/1509 are listed in its annexes by CN code. They include both export bans to North Korea and import bans from North Korea. To determine the status of a specific product, identify its CN code and check it in the search tool.

What is Regulation 2017/1509?

It is an EU legal act establishing restrictive measures toward North Korea. The binding source is its current consolidated version published on EUR-Lex. The database is continuously monitored and updated.

Can the same product have a different status under another regime?

Yes. The regimes are separate and each regulation has its own annexes. The same CN code may be banned under 2017/1509 and not under another regime, or the other way round. The search tool checks the code against all regimes at once and shows each basis separately.

Does every item have an annex and article?

Yes. Every 2017/1509 item carries its annex, article, direction and restriction type, taken from the consolidated text of the regulation. Always confirm details in the act text on EUR-Lex.
