AFF – Bans are a form of regulation; the CP is plan plus.

In addition to the “bans and restrictions” monitored by the customs authorities, businesses face many other restrictions in their day-to-day operations. This includes regulations that fall under the purview of other government agencies as well as company-specific restrictions. An example: Company A instructs its shipping department not to supply hydraulic pumps to customers in Japan, even though that would not be a problem under foreign trade regulations. The reason: Company A has signed an exclusivity agreement with a Japanese company that includes territorial protections in this area.
