Official ban (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embargo

'official ban' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for embargo that I've seen before include "Trade sanction" , "Commercial break" , "Government order imposing a trade barrier" , "Official prohibition as on trade" , "Official ban or blockade on trade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the King Feature Syndicate and The Times.
