Iraq’s customs department gave orders on Saturday to start enforcing a ban on alcohol imports that became law last month despite divisions over the legislation.
“The General Customs Authority has given orders to all customs centres to ban the entry of all types of alcoholic drink,” the authority said in a statement.
The new law sets fines of between 10 million and 25 million dinars ($7,700-$19,000) for violations.
