What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 8524 12, and China's below.
China: the same goods (8524 12)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 1 in force under 8524 12. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8524.12.00.00 | Organic LED modules, not incorporating drivers or control circuits不含驱动器或控制电路的有机发光二极管模组 | 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.
