US curbs on Chinese goods open export window for Indian e-sellers: GTRI

The US tightening of low-value e-commerce shipments from China has opened up huge opportunities for Indian online exporters, as they can fill the gap if the red tape is eased and the government provides timely support, think tank GTRI said on Sunday.

With over 1 lakh e-commerce sellers and $5 billion in current exports, India is well-positioned to fill the gap left by China particularly in customized, small-batch products like handicraft, fashion, and home goods, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said.
