US Bans Imports of Parts, Technologies from N.Korea

Radio Free Asia (RFA) said that the U.S. has announced an executive order for a new set of sanctions against North Korea.

The new sanctions prohibit the import of finished goods, parts and products made with North Korean technology. This means exports manufactured in the Hwanggeumpyeong economic zone as well as in the Gaeseong Industrial Complex would have to be screened. In addition, films produced in collaboration by the two Koreas will undergo a review in order to be exported to the U.S.

The RFA said that the directive is a more concrete version of the Executive Order “Prohibiting Certain Transactions with Respect to North Korea” announced in April.

Congressional Research Service (CRS) specialist in industry, trade and foreign affairs Dick Nanto said in an interview with the RFA that the April executive order banned possible exports of products made at the Gaeseong Industrial Complex to urge the ratification of the South Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement.
