China adds anti-subsidy duties on Australian wine
Bloomberg
China is to start collecting extra duties on Australian wine today, further ratcheting up tensions with Canberra and handing another blow to an industry already hit by tariffs last month.
The temporary anti-subsidy duties are to be charged on wine imports starting today, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said in a statement yesterday. That comes on top of temporary anti-dumping tariffs imposed last month.
The decision is the latest in a series of actions against Australian exports, which the government in Canberra has called “economic coercion” as the relationship between the two nations sours.
