May 16, 2026 In Japan, this year's national tariff quotas for high-quality wool imports from Australia and New Zealand were officially fully implemented. The clear quota quantity and clear application rules have opened up a convenient channel for many domestic regular wool spinning companies to steadily introduce overseas high-quality wool raw materials, and further improve the domestic high-end wool spinning raw material supply system. This time, the Australian wool import quota is set at 44,324 tons, and the New Zealand wool import quota is 36,936 tons. Sufficient import quotas fully meet the basic needs of domestic high-end spinning production.
In terms of application and use rules, this wool import quota is strictly applied based on the trade contract and issued on a first-come, first-served basis. The quota usage certificate after successful application is valid for up to three months, and all quotas can be used until December 31, 2026 at the latest. Today, the time planning is loose and reasonable, which greatly facilitates enterprises to flexibly arrange raw material import procurement plans. At the same time, imported wool raw materials that comply with the rules of origin of relevant free trade agreements can also enjoy preferential tariff policies, effectively reducing the procurement cost of high-end raw materials for enterprises from the source.
High-quality Australian wool and new wool are indispensable core raw materials for making high-count worsted wool yarns and high-end cashmere blended yarns due to their uniform fiber fineness, pure and soft wool, superior warmth and breathability, etc. The quality of raw materials directly determines the feel, comfort and overall grade of terminal knitted clothing. For a long time, the tight supply of high-end and high-quality imported wool and the high procurement cost have been problems that have restricted the development of many small and medium-sized wool spinning companies. The implementation of this import quota has effectively alleviated the market situation of tight supply of high-end and high-quality wool.
China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. actively seizes the development opportunities brought by the implementation of wool import quotas, strictly follows the relevant national management regulations, compliantly connects overseas high-quality Australian wool and new wool raw material resources, accurately selects high-quality imported wool raw materials, and strictly controls product quality from the production source.
