What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 4011 20, and China's below.
China: the same goods (4011 20)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force and 4 expired under 4011 20. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4011.20.00.10 | New pneumatic rubber tyres for passenger or freight vehicles, of a cross-sectional width >= 30 inches断面宽≥30英寸客或货车用新充气橡胶轮胎 | 6.5%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin | 10% | 13% | 13% | AM |

- 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.
