A List of Products Exported from Australia that China is Banning Importation of or has Levied Tariffs On has been Released

Australia is one of the few developed nations on earth that exports more products to China, than it imports from China. China is Australia’s largest trading partner and a top export destination. In the 2018 – 2019 fiscal year China imported about 32.6% of all Australian exports, or about 153.2 billion in Australian dollars ($116.79 USD). With iron ore the leading exported product. However, when Australia joined in the international inquiry on how China handled the coronavirus outbreak in the Chinese City of Wuhan, that relationship immediately cooled. China has taken several measures this year that impede Australian imports, ranging from levying tariffs to imposing bans and restrictions. Here is a list of some of the items being impacted by the current Chinese governments tariffs and bans: 1) barley, 2) wine, 3) red meat, 4) cotton, 5) timber, 6) coal, 7) lobster, 8) iron ore, 9) education and 10) tourism.
