Zimbabwe maintains a list of prohibited items that require special permission from the government to import. The list includes nuclear reactors, radioactive materials, arms and ammunition, precious and semi-precious gems, jewelry, carbonated beverages for resale, and textiles and clothing and second hand clothes for resale.  In 2011 the government imposed an indefinite ban on chicken and meat product imports from South Africa.  Although the ban has since been relaxed somewhat, meat imports are controlled by a quota system administered by the Ministry of Agriculture.
