China: the same goods (7225 99)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force under 7225 99. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7225.99.10.00 | High speed steel flat rolled products, width ≥ 600mm宽≥600mm的高速钢制平板轧材 | 3%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 3% | 13% | 0% | 4x |
| 7225.99.90.00 | Flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of a width ≥ 600 mm宽≥600mm的其他合金钢平板轧材 | 7%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 7% | 13% | 0% | 4x |
- 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.
