Australian winemakers are now confronted with a new threat of American rates less than a year after the recovery of China's brutal trade sanctions.
Donald Trump is planning to generate a new series of mutual rates for the export of agriculture from 1 April.
United States Wine Exportors complain about Australian wine taxes, which they consider as an obstacle to doing business, so that many are considering the Australian wine industry in the sights of Trump.
The Trump administration will address these issues after it has rejected the Australia's offer for an exemption for new 25 percent steel and aluminum rates.
The California Association of Winegrape growers have specifically increased objections to the 29 percent wine allowance tax from Australia for companies that make, import or sell wines.
“American wine exporters … have to pay the full load of 29 percent without access to compensation, making it more difficult to compete on the Australian market,” said it in an entry that was seen by the Australian.
'This structural imbalance, combined with extra import duties and taxes, creates an important trade barrier that unfairly imitated American wine producers.
“The wine industry of Australia benefits from government programs that distort the competition.”

Donald Trump is planning to pay a new series of mutual rates for the export of agriculture from 1 April.
Natalie Collins, the president of the lobby group, said that non-Tariff's barriers in different countries had disadvantaged Californian grape growers.
“If we want to protect California WineGrowing, we need policy that stops with unfair commercial practices and a commitment to buying and promoting Californian wine,” she said.
“This moment offers a valuable opportunity to tackle the need for a level playing field for growers in California.”
Australia's new fight with the Trump administration takes place less than a year after China finally removed his 218 percent rates for Australian wine, originally imposed in 2020 after former Prime Minister Scott Morrison was founded for an investigation into the origin of Covid.
A series of trading restrictions on Australian products were rolled out by China between May and November 2020 in the form of higher rates that on wine and barley, biosecurity measures against some beef and wood, and unannounced forbidden -also known as non -wariff -barriers -on coal, cotton, cotton and oppress.
The trade sanctions ensured that the South Australian family business, Salena Estate Wines PTY LTD, was placed in administration last year, because winemakers were confronted with high costs that were implemented to find new export markets.
The company was one of the top 20 wine producers of Australia and was exported to 10 countries and grew grapes on 191 hectares of land in Bookpurnong in the Riverland region in South Australia.

New American rates for the Australian agricultural output will come into effect on 1 April, in addition to new import tax on Australian pharmaceutical exports, unless an exemption is guaranteed.

Earlier this month, the US donated new 25 percent rates on Australian steel and aluminum.
In contrast to 2018, the Trump administration overlooked how the US had a trade surplus with Australia from 1952, where Australia bought more goods and services from the United States than bought it from us.
Australia exported $ 325 million in wine to the United States last year, according to data from Wine Australia.
