On May 15, 2026, the country-specific tariff quotas for wool imports from New Zealand and Australia were officially implemented, and the total quotas were clear. Among them, the Australian wool quota was 44,324 tons and the New Zealand wool quota was 36,936 tons. This provides an important guarantee for domestic wool spinning companies to stably import high-quality wool raw materials, optimize the raw material structure, and control procurement costs. The quotas will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis according to the contract. Applications will be stopped once the total amount is exhausted. Compliant wool spinning enterprises can apply for quotas based on relevant qualifications and enjoy preferential tax rates under the free trade agreement, further reducing the cost of importing high-quality wool.
It is understood that companies applying for this wool import quota need to meet relevant conditions, including registration before January 1, 2026, compliant operations, and no serious breach of trust records. Applicants with performance can apply multiple times during the year. Applicants without performance must meet the requirement of annual wool/top processing capacity ≥ 3,000 tons. The quota certificate is valid for three months from the date of issuance, and no later than December 31, 2026. Imported wool that complies with the rules of origin of the free trade agreement can be applied to the agreement tax rate, further improving the cost-effectiveness of domestic wool textile enterprises' procurement. High-quality Australian wool and new wool are the core raw materials for the production of high-end products such as high-count wool threads and cashmere blended threads due to their uniform fineness, soft feel, and good warmth retention. Their stable supply is crucial to improving the quality of woolen products.
