Mainecat Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 US grain ships diverted at sea hours after China imposes grain tariff Ships laden with more than 1.2m tonnes of US sorghum bound for China may have no where to go amid the ongoing trade tensions between Beijing and Washington. Twenty ships carrying more than $216m worth of sorghum were at sea on Friday, according to Reuters, but least five of them had changed course within hours of China’s announcement this week that it would place stiff tariffs on the grain. On Tuesday, Beijing said US importers had been dumping the grain, used for animal feed as well as China’s traditional baijiu liquor, on the Chinese market and harming Chinese farmers. China’s ministry of commerce said it would begin requiring deposits of 178.6% of the value of grain shipments. The five diverted sorghum ships, all loaded in Texas, would have had to pay that deposit, rendering their shipments unprofitable, Reuters reported. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/20/us-sorghum-fleet-china-grain-tariff-trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful because you see the products I sell to my customers already have a 25% tariff going into China. How about yours? Let me ask you this MC. Does the govt of China come in and audit your facility every year? They do mine. Do a bit of research on CCC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Compulsory_Certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if the Chinese source the product from somewhere else in the world that will create a shortage in that part of the global market. Think about it. If the global demand is 1B tonnes and the Chinese account for 10% of that demand, suddenly they get that 10% from Europe. The supply to Europe just diminished by 10% which will need to come from somewhere.... oh that's right. The US product that was originally destined for China can now fill the demand which was just created in Europe.

MILFMAN Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 A complete non-story that reeled some of you in. Have you ever been on a ship at sea and rerouted because the price of the commodity changed? I have, on tankers, waiting for the price of gas or heating oil to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
