The government on Thursday eased export norms for nitrile or nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) gloves, used by medical professionals, a move aimed at promoting shipments of the protective equipment.
Export of these gloves were banned in the country in view of domestic requirements in the wake of COVID-19 outbreak.
"The export policy of nitrile/NBR gloves exported...is revised from prohibited to restricted category," the directorate general of foreign trade (DGFT) said in a notification.
For products under a restricted category, an exporter would need a licence or permission from the government for exports.
