Export policy (DGFT ITC(HS) Schedule 2) of its tariff items

Free: 2 tariff items

What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 6105 10, and China's below.

China: the same goods (6105 10)

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 6105 10. Exporters see what China charges Indian goods; importers see the rebate and licences their Chinese supplier deals with.

China's tariff for these goods
China code	Goods	Duty on Indian goods	MFN	Import VAT	Export rebate	Licences
6105.10.00.10	Boys' knitted or crocheted cotton play-suit shirts棉制针织或钩编男童游戏套装衬衫	3.9%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	6%	13%	13%	AM
6105.10.00.90	Other knitted or crocheted men's shirts of cotton其他棉制针织或钩编其他男衬衫	3.9%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	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.
