Notes on these rates

The statutory rates come from a one-time snapshot of the Indian Trade Portal (CBIC's tariff of 30.06.2025). Changes the Finance Act 2026 made to the tariff from 1 May 2026 are not in it.
Notification 45/2025-Customs (Table I, S.No. 202) sets a standard rate of 10% for these goods. The statutory rate, 10%, is lower, so that is what customs charges.
Table I of 45/2025-Customs also has 12 entries that cover this code for named goods or on a condition (for example S.No. 192: 10%, condition 3 and 22). They lower the duty only if the importer meets the condition, so they are not in the totals.
IGST comes from our archived GST table, which still has the 12% and 28% slabs, so it may pre-date the GST rate changes of 22 September 2025. Check the current rate.
AIDC, Health Cess and the SWS exemptions are read from notifications 11/2021-Customs, 08/2020-Customs and 11/2018-Customs as amended (to 16/2026-Customs), and the notifications that lower AIDC for a while. SWS is 10% of BCD, AIDC and Health Cess together (Finance Act 2018, s.110), never of anti-dumping, countervailing or safeguard duty or IGST.
AIDC is 5% (S.No. 15H of 11/2021-Customs, as amended by 16/2026-Customs). 3 more entries cover this code for named goods or on a condition, for example S.No. 15B of 11/2021-Customs (Silver or gold dore bar, content not exceeding 95%, on conditions: 4.35%; on conditions (dore bars)); not in the totals.
AIDC is Nil where exemption from BCD is claimed under advance authorisation, an EOU scheme or the notifications 11/2021-Customs lists (S.Nos. 17A to 20, among them some trade agreements); the totals do not assume one.
SWS is exempt under S.No. 1 of 11/2018-Customs, as amended by 16/2026-Customs.
Not included: GST compensation cess, anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard duties, and exemptions or concessions such as end-use, EOU/SEZ or project imports.
This does not check whether the import is allowed (DGFT import policy, licences, quality-control orders). The HS code explorer shows the import policy.
This is an estimate, not an assessment. Confirm the duty with your customs broker or ICEGATE's duty calculator before you price a deal.

Nil. The Second Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act does not list these goods, so no export duty is charged.

Duty drawback (All Industry Rates)

All Industry Rates of duty drawback under this heading

What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 7107 00, and China's below.

China: the same goods (7107 00)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force and 1 expired under 7107 00. 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
7107.00.00.10	Profiled composite contact strips (surface roughness Ra≤0.1 micron, Rz≤1.0 micron, silver layer hardness ≥95 Vickers (HV), crystal grain size ≤3 microns)异型复合接点带(表面粗糙度Ra≤0.1微米、Rz≤1.0微米,银层硬度≥95维氏硬度(HV),晶体粒径≤3微米)	5%China's provisional rate, lower than MFN	8%	13%	13%	None
7107.00.00.90	Other silver clad materials on a base of base metal其他以贱金属为底的包银材料	8%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line)	8%	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.
