India Alters Restrictions on Exports of Hand Sanitizer

India announced restrictions on certain alcohol-based hand sanitizers “in containers with dispenser pumps,” according to a June 1 notice from the country’s Directorate General of Foreign Trade. The notice contains Harmonized System codes for the restricted products. India previously restricted exports of alcohol-based hand sanitizers, (see 2005060023), but this notice, “with immediate effect,” only prohibits exports with the dispenser pump packaging.
