What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 8407 90, and China's below.

China: the same goods (8407 90)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 3 in force and 9 expired under 8407 90. 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
8407.90.10.00	Biogas engines沼气发动机	7%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	10%	13%	13%	None
8407.90.90.31	Spark-ignition engines for fork-lift trucks叉车用汽油发动机	9%China's provisional rate, lower than MFN	18%	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.
