certain minor exceptions such as gift parcels and commercial samples
under I£10,000 in value and personal effects of tourists and

Industry is responsible for the control of most products. Outstanding
exceptions, with the Government department or agency responsible, are
as follows:
Military items--Ministry of Defense.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry may ask for recommendations from
other ministries before licensing certain products, for example foods
and pharmaceuticals.
Israel voted to support the United Nations Resolution of May 18, 1951,
placing an embargo on shipments of arms and related material to China
and North Korea.
