China to Collect Extra Anti-Subsidy Duties on Australian Wine

(Bloomberg) — China will start collecting extra duties on Australian wine from Friday, further ratcheting up tensions with Australia and handing another blow to a local industry already hit by tariffs last month.

Anti-subsidy tariffs of between 6.3%-6.4% will be charged on the wine imports, starting Dec. 11, China’s Commerce Ministry said in a statement Thursday. That comes on top of anti-dumping tariffs of 107.1%-212.1% which were imposed last month.
