Govt Removes Export Curbs On N-95 Masks

New Delhi, 6 Oct 2020:

The government on Tuesday removed export curbs on N-95 masks, to promote outbound shipments of the product. "The export policy of N-95/FFP-2 masks or its equivalent is amended from restricted to free category, making all types of masks freely exportable," the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT)
