India Revises Export Policies for PPE

India revised its export policies for certain personal protective equipment, the country’s Directorate General of Foreign Trade said Aug. 25. The change removes restrictions on exports of medical coveralls and 2/3 ply surgical masks, and sets monthly export quotes for medical goggles and “N-95/FFP2” masks. The monthly export quota is 2 million (20 lakh) for medical goggles and 5 million (50 lakh) for the restricted masks. Nitrite/NBR gloves continue to be prohibited for export, the notice said.
