Anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard duty in force

Anti-dumping duty on goods from China: Nil to 6.34% of CIF value, by origin and producer (until 23 Mar 2030). Roller Chains. 06/2025-ADD

Charged on top of the duty above, only on goods from the countries named.

Import policy (DGFT ITC(HS))

Free under DGFT 13/2025-26 of 26 May 2025.
Condition: However, import of Roller chains and parts thereof having a CIF value of less than ₹ 235 per kilogram is 'Restricted'.

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.
BCD is the standard rate notified under 45/2025-Customs (Table I, S.No. 215), 10%, not the statutory 15%: an exemption notification lets customs charge the lower.
Table I of 45/2025-Customs also has 2 entries that cover this code for named goods or on a condition (for example S.No. 229: Nil, condition 28). 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 Nil (S.No. 17 of 11/2021-Customs, which exempts all goods it does not name).
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.

What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 7315 11, and China's below.

China: the same goods (7315 11)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 3 in force under 7315 11. 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
7315.11.10.00	Bicycle roller chain自行车滚子链	8%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line)	8%	13%	13%	None
7315.11.20.00	Motorcycle roller chain摩托车滚子链	8%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line)	8%	13%	13%	None
7315.11.90.00	Other roller chain其他滚子链	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.
