A South Korean company illegally sold more than 100 tonnes of a potentially lethal chemical to the North last year, according to South Korean officials.
They said sodium cyanide was illegally exported via China to a North Korean trading firm.
The substance normally has agricultural or industrial uses, but can also be turned into a deadly nerve agent.
