Export / Import is Big Business! One does it for anything that can sell or there is a market. We often assume it involves brand new items. But exporting / importing used items has always been booming for mid-level entrepreneurs. This may be in used clothing, cars, tires, scrap metal etc etc.
Exporting to South America and Africa of 'used clothing' from Europe and USA by private (for profit) entrepreneurs has been going on for decades. Perhaps Indian government restrictions on imports prevented them from comming to India. But now with WTO rules relaxing trade regulations, it looks like this business oportunity for trade with India is open. Calling it 'Aid Donation' my be an advertising tool. It sounds better than saying, "It is used / old clothes". One can expect to see a lot of this in years to come. With Clothes there may not be Quality Controls as one may see with used cars, computers etc Regards.
