- Free: 7 tariff items
What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 0306 17, and China's below.
China: the same goods (0306 17)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force and 6 expired under 0306 17. Exporters see what China charges Indian goods; importers see the rebate and licences their Chinese supplier deals with.
| China code | Goods | Duty on Indian goods | MFN | Import VAT | Export rebate | Licences |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0306.17.30.00 | Other frozen shelled small shrimp and prawns冻其他小虾及对虾虾仁 | 3.5%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin | 7% | 9% | 9% | ABRSPQ |
| 0306.17.90.00 | Other frozen shrimps and prawns其他冻小虾及对虾 | 2.5%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin | 5% | 9% | 9% | ABRSPQ |
- India is a member of the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA). With an APTA certificate of origin, Indian goods pay China's APTA rate where the line has one; China applies the lower of that and its provisional rate.
- The export VAT rebate is what China refunds its own exporters. When China cuts it, Chinese export prices tend to rise.
