China's decision to lower a tariff on alcohol imports could also apply to fuel ethanol, traders said on Friday, potentially opening the door to imports from countries like Brazil.

China's Finance Ministry announced this week that the import tax for alcohol and other denatured spirits would be 5% from Jan. 1, down from the current 30%. On the supply side, a complicated sugar cane harvest in Brazil, the world's top exporter of ethanol, will result in lower supplies of the biofuel over the next few months.
