The Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) has sought special costing proposals from Amazon for selling masks and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits.

"Mask, that is a lower value item, should not bear similar charges. PPE kits are used for health purposes and so they should work out special rates for masks and also for PPE kits for the AEPC members," said AEPC Chairman Dr A Sakthivel.

Sumeet Swapnil, Category Lead, Apparel, Amazon Global Selling, India, said that they would look into that proposal.
