What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 2904 99, and China's below.
China: the same goods (2904 99)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 3 in force and 3 expired under 2904 99. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2904.99.00.14 | Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid, its salts and its related compounds全氟已基磺酸及其盐类和其相关化合物 | 5.5%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 5.5% | 13% | 13% | 89 |
| 2904.99.00.20 | Chloronitropropane, tetrachloronitrobenzene, pentachloronitrobenzene氯硝丙烷,四氯硝基苯,五氯硝基苯 | 5.5%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 5.5% | 13% | 0% | S |

- 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.
