Australia

UN Based Sanctions - On 14 October 2006 the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted resolution 1718 (2006) imposing sanctions in relation to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in response to a test of a nuclear weapon on 9 October 2006, which it deemed a threat to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to international efforts aimed at strengthening the global regime of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and a danger to peace and stability in the region and beyond. The sanctions were renewed and extended by UNSC resolution 1874 (2009).
As a consequence, Australian law now prohibits various conduct, for more information Australia Sanctions

Appears complicated, but long story short we've complied with UN sanctions against them since 2006 at least, plus our own autonomous sanctions. The current government is pushing for more.

They are targeted at the moment though, so it's possible some limited trade occurs. I'm not aware of any.

According to a 2013 BBC World Service Poll, only 7% of Australians view North Korea's influence positively, with 85% expressing a negative view.[4]
...
The two countries nominally have diplomatic relations, though as of 2013 neither Australia nor North Korea has an official diplomatic presence in the other country. Instead, diplomatic relations between the two are handled by non-resident embassies. The Australian embassy in Seoul manages relations with North Korea, whereas the DPRK embassy in Jakarta is responsible for their relations with Australia.[1] Additionally, the Swedish embassy in Pyongyang provides limited assistance to Australians.[2][3]
...
In January 2008, North Korea closed its embassy in Canberra. In January 2013, North Korea requested permission to reopen its Canberra embassy, despite Australia supporting increased international sanctions against the country due to its continued nuclear regime.[5] This was declined by Australia in June 2013.
