Supplementary notes

Notes from the source:
- According to the Current Tariff Classification, there is no single classification for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), as PPE is reported under a broad range of commodities. The figures in this analysis does not include all PPE goods, as they are reported under numerous categories. Furthermore, commodities identified as including PPE are not only limited to COVID-19-related products.
- PPE includes made up textiles (such as face masks), gloves (including disposable nitrile gloves), garments of felt and non-wovens (including isolation gowns and protective overalls).
