Amid tensions with China, India warns Amazon, Flipkart over country of origin rule

Amid tensions with China, India warns Amazon, Flipkart over country of origin ruleThe Indian government has warned Amazon.com’s local unit and Walmart’s Flipkart that sellers on their platforms are not complying with a rule requiring that a product’s country of origin be specified. A push for strict enforcement of the rule has come amid tensions between India and China following a border skirmish which began in June, and is part of India’s efforts to cut down on Chinese-made imports. Representatives for Amazon and Flipkart did not immediately respond to Reuters requests seeking comment outside regular business hours.
