About this program
The Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service administers the Agriculture Wool Apparel Manufacturers Trust Fund (CFDA 10.616) to compensate domestic wool textile manufacturers for economic injury resulting from U.S. tariffs on wool fabric that exceed tariffs on finished wool apparel articles, with applications due by March 1 annually.
The program addresses a specific tariff-rate differential established under the Wool Suit and Textile Trade Extension Act of 2004. Eligible claimants must file notarized affidavits and comply with record-keeping requirements specified in the authorizing statute. The source does not disclose recent grant awards, award history, award volume, or assistance-type mix; it provides no portfolio data on funding concentration, typical award magnitudes, or representative recent recipients. No current or recently posted grant opportunities appear in the source material.
The program operates under a fixed annual application cycle with a hard deadline of March 1; applications received after that date are ineligible. USDA determination on eligibility is final. Applicants should consult the Wool Trust program page at www.fas.usda.gov for detailed application procedures, record-keeping requirements, and annual program updates.
Without access to recent award activity, funding history, or open solicitations, a business development professional cannot assess current competitiveness, typical award values, recent recipient profile, or whether this program is actively deploying funds.
