Beijing:
China's Commerce Ministry issued a ban, effective from Tuesday, on several imports from North Korea, including coal, iron ore, lead concentrates and ore, lead and seafood, a move that is in line with UN sanctions announced this month.
Beijing issued the order on Monday.
UN sanctions must be implemented 30 days after the resolution was approved in a vote on August 6.
The Chinese government said any cargoes already on their way to China would be cleared by customs as usual before the UN sanctions deadline.
