Free: 3 tariff items

What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 8112 69, and China's below.

China: the same goods (8112 69)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force under 8112 69. 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
8112.69.10.00	Unwrought cadmium; powders未锻轧镉;粉末	3%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line)	3%	13%	0%	None
8112.69.90.00	Other cadmium and articles thereof其他镉及镉制品	5.6%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	8%	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.
