They need to ban imports from Israel in general. Exports too, for that matter.

Why would anyone trust Israel to say that a given trade good was not produced in occupied Palestine when it could still be the result of resource extraction from the region? Or on the exports front, that goods exported to "Oslo accords" Israel won't simply be moved to Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine some point after arrival?
