What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 2834 29, and China's below.
China: the same goods (2834 29)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 3 in force under 2834 29. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2834.29.10.00 | Cobalt nitrate硝酸钴 | 5%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 5% | 13% | 0% | ABNM |
| 2834.29.90.01 | Barium nitrate硝酸钡 | 2%China's provisional rate, lower than MFN | 5% | 13% | 0% | ABNM |
| 2834.29.90.90 | Other nitrates其他硝酸盐 | 5%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 5% | 13% | 0% | None |
- 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.
