Sweden and Denmark Move to Restrict Goods from West Bank Settlements

New trade rules are coming to Sweden and Denmark. Import and export businesses must prepare for new compliance obligations. Twelve foreign ministers issued a joint statement on this policy. They plan trade restrictions on goods from illegal West Bank settlements. Sweden and Denmark joined ten other nations in this decision. The nations want to protect the two-state solution.

The restrictions could apply nationally or across the European Union. Sanctions will target products originating from these settlement areas. Local trade professionals must check their supply chains carefully. Companies must follow all future regulatory changes in Sweden and Denmark.
