Considering that audits commissioned by the Liberian government did not demonstrate revenue from the Liberia Ship and Corporate Registry and timber industry was used for legitimate purposes, the Council imposed a ban on imports of Liberian timber for ten months.[5] The ban would come into force on 7 July 2003 unless decided otherwise and would be reviewed before the end of the period.[6] The socio-economic impact of the sanctions would also be considered by 7 September 2003.
