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 5703. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5703.10.00.00 | Tufted carpets and other tufted floor coverings, of wool羊毛簇绒地毯及其他簇绒铺地制品 | 6%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 6% | 13% | 13% | 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.
