It affects importers bringing woven cotton (tariff headings 5210–5212.2) that meet strict limits on price (≤ $2.67/m²), weight (≤ 510 g/m²) and specific medical end‑use.

Fabrics with fancy weaves/yarns or certain heavier classifications are excluded, and official weight tests allow a ±1% tolerance.
