What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 0801 19, and China's below.
China: the same goods (0801 19)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force and 2 expired under 0801 19. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0801.19.10.00 | Coconuts for sowing种用椰子 | 0%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 0% | 9% | 9% | ABNPQ |
| 0801.19.90.00 | Other fresh coconuts其他鲜椰子 | 6%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin | 12% | 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.
