China was Australia’s largest trading partner, but since that country decided in 2018 to exclude Huawei from the construction of the 5G network, the relationship has started to sour.

In recent years, China has imposed tariffs on a range of Australian products such as coal, beef, lobster and barley. Australia has already filed a complaint against China with the WTO for the latter charges. The import tax on wine became official in March, but actually applied months earlier. According to Australian trade minister Dan Tehan, Australian wine exports to China fell from A$1.1 billion, or just under 700 million euros, to just A$20 million. The import duties will rise to 218 percent, according to Tehan, according to Tehan.
