Lower tariffs on China’s imports of cotton and wool

05/01/2026

A series of changes to China’s tariff regime took effect on January 1. The Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council announced reduced tariffs on a total of 935 products.

Cotton-producing countries that have most-favoured-nation (MFN) status for exports to China will now face tariffs of 1% on shipments within their allocated quotas, compared to the 6% that applied previously.

Tariffs on imports of wool have also gone down from 6% to 1%. 

The Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council said the government’s aim was to reinforce cost efficiency for textile manufacturers in China.
