I have a small business offering technical services (UK)...in recent times I have sourced pre-prod prototypes and samples in China for clients. This has moved to the supply of batches of clothing and now, someone has requested some sugar (I am in a couple of business networks):“....Type I-CUMSA45Minimum order 300-400MT Destination: Iraq.....”Now I can't afford to turn work opportunities away so if I can supply it I will, after all its just a commodity and I now have a trusted link in HK who can possibly put me in touch with a supplier. Can anyone advise:-What are the restrictions on selling food (or anything) to Iraq?-What is important to know about buying sugar from China? Is it a bad idea after all the recent problems in the news?Anyone have some experience in this field.?Thanks for any help.
