What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 7015 10, and China's below.
China: the same goods (7015 10)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force under 7015 10. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7015.10.10.00 | Blanks for photochromatic corrective spectacle lenses视力矫正眼镜用变色镜片坯件 | 15%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 15% | 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.
