WTO complaint “next step” in tariff dispute between Australia and China, trade ministery says.
The trade minister Simon Brimingham said on 29 November the trade conflicts were not just harming Australia but threated global trade confidence. Canberra will take its complaints to the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Due wine tariffs imposed after barley tariffs announced in May, at least 60 ships laden with coal from Australian producers have also been denied permission to enter Chinese ports, leaving them waiting off the coast while Australian authorise attempt to find a resolution to the standoff.
The wine decision would not be part of any immediate complaint to the WTO as it was still being described as an “interim application of tariffs”.
