What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 7616 99, and China's below.

China: the same goods (7616 99)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 4 in force under 7616 99. Exporters see what China charges Indian goods; importers see the rebate and licences their Chinese supplier deals with.

China's tariff for these goods

7616.99.10.10	Solid cylindrical aluminium alloy bodies, height less than diameter.高度小于直径的柱形实心体铝合金	5.2%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	8%	13%	13%	3

7616.99.90.00	Other non-industrial articles of aluminium其他非工业用铝制品	5.2%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	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.
