Beijing's decision last week to impose tariffs of up to 212% on Australian wine imports has endangered business with mainland China, according to Tony Battaglene, CEO of Australian Grape and Wine, a national association

Battaglene works with around 800 wine producers in Australia who have"built their businesses" around exporting to China and are now left with no backup plan, he added.

. Australian officials have bitterly protested the move, saying that China has been unable to provide proof.Australia has upset "Orders are being canceled, orders are being suspended," he said."No one's willing to ... take extra import duties just to get it through customs. Essentially the market will be closed to us."
