India Further Restricts Exports of Hand Sanitizer

India’s Directorate General of Foreign Trade announced export restrictions on alcohol-based hand sanitizers, according to a May 6 notice. The measure restricts “only” alcohol-based sanitizers that fall under four Harmonized System codes referenced in the notice, adding that all other items under those HS codes are “freely exportable.” India previously restricted exports of certain types of sanitizer (see 2003240045).
