For "don't stock" I'd show the red X but no box.

I also like the double-headed arrow idea for the "normal" policy - maybe in yellow, to stay with traffic light colors?

I recommend a lighter yellow, like the arrow-house icon below the green arrow icon. With the current one, the arrow blends in with the background too much, so it almost looks like a one-headed arrow.

I think when this is done, we have a winner face-smile.png

Personally I don't like the idea with "X" and no box.

All pictures are with door and box. One without it? I don't get the point of that face-smile.png I prefer the "X" with a box next to it.

If you do bring the box back to the "don't stock" image, I recommend putting the X over the box, not the door.

The cross over the box makes semantic sense, but it is creating a visual imbalance. I think it might be better to have it over the door, even when the box is added.

The line of the yellow arrow seems thicker than the others. This might be an optical illusion though, since the line is shorter due to the double arrow. The color is working now though face-smile.png

it's definitely an optical illusion; although all three arrows are the same total length, your mind instead compares the distance between the two arrowheads with the other arrows' distance from the arrowhead to the tail end -- which IS different.
