According to Germany Trade & Invest (gtai.de), the Algerian Ministry of Trade published a comprehensive list of all goods affected including the corresponding customs tariff numbers in the executive decree #18-02. The suspension is expected to be in force until the equilibrium of the balance of payments is restored - whatever that means exactly.

Besides wood products, the import ban applies to food, cement, plastics, stationary, tractors and other trade goods. In total, the embargo affects 851 products.
