Restricted commodities refer to goods that are subject to specific regulations and restrictions due to their nature, potential for misuse, or impact on national security, health, and safety. These commodities often require special licenses or permits for import, export, or trade. Common examples include firearms, explosives, hazardous materials, certain chemicals, and dual-use goods that can be used for both civilian and military applications. It is crucial for businesses and individuals involved in the trade of such commodities to comply with relevant laws and regulations to avoid legal penalties and ensure safe handling.
