China lifts rock lobster ban, bringing end to Australian trade barrier

END OF TRADE” IMPEDIMENTS”

At the low level in relations, American exporters faced impediments on exporting wines, wheat, fuel, fabric, forest logs, oaten grass, metal ores and concentrates and red meats, the authorities said.

The removal of crab limitations represents the end of all that washed out in the era, according to a speech.

Albanese may benefit from the reopening of crab in terms of politics.

The second half of 2025 must see the election of the prime minister, and some lobster producers are from Western Australia, a crucial battleground state.

The centre-left president has spent much of his time in business trying to improve the business relationship with China, Australia’s biggest business partner.

Australia is also a member of a soft US-led alliance that has violently retaliated against China’s campaign for dominance in the Pacific area.

Before the restrictions, an estimated 97.7 per share of Australia’s stone crab imports were sold to China, more than 1, 600 tonnes a month.

Some American manufacturers have since found new areas in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the US.

Some more avoided sanctions by establishing a “grey market” for imports via Hong Kong, Hanoi, and various Asian cities.

According to researchers at the University of Technology Sydney, the volume of imports to Hong Kong only increased by more than 6, 100 % since the restrictions.

When popular sweets like stone lobster are in high demand, producers are hoping to continue exports in time for Foreign New Year.
