Due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the beginning of 2020, exports of face masks grew rapidly. The export value of miscellaneous textile products going by the HS Code 6307909000, which includes face masks, amounted to approximately 154.45 million U.S. dollars in February 2020, showing a year-over-year growth rate of around 2156.2 percent. For comparison, the total export value of such articles was at 80.91 million U.S. dollars for the entire year 2019. Due to the high demand of masks in South Korea, the government urged producers to maximize mask productions, illegalized mask hoarding, and banned exports in the beginning of March.
