Which of the following is an example of restricted goods?

• A. Fire Crackers
• B. Imitation Currency
• C. Dredges for Sponging
• D. Underwater Power Gun

Answer: (A)

Restricted goods are items that require a permit or license to import or export because of safety, security, or regulatory concerns. Fire crackers are explosive devices, so bringing them into the country typically needs an explosives license and proper handling rules; without that authorization, their import is restricted. The other items involve different regulatory angles—imitation currency is illegal to possess or circulate, a dredge for sponging touches environmental or fisheries rules, and an underwater power gun is a weapon governed by separate weapon-control laws—so they’re not the clearest example of a permit-based restriction in this context.
