Progress on trade barriers to Australian wine, lobster

Australian Minister for Trade and Tourism Don Farrell.

SYDNEY: China will complete a review into years-long tariffs on Australian wine by the end of March and is also reviewing its restrictions on lobster imports, Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell says.

Speaking yesterday, Farrell said he was hopeful China would lift the tariffs of up to 218% on Australian wine, first introduced in 2021, once the review finished and that good progress was also being made in relation to the unofficial restrictions on lobster imports.
