Notes on these rates

BCD is the statutory tariff rate from a one-time snapshot of the Indian Trade Portal. Exemption notifications (such as 45/2025-Customs) and tariff changes made after the snapshot, including the Finance Act 2026 changes from 1 May 2026, are not applied.
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.

Nil. The Second Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act does not list these goods, so no export duty is charged.

Duty drawback (All Industry Rates)

All Industry Rates of duty drawback under this heading
Drawback item	Goods	Rate	Cap
9001	Optical fibres and optical fibre bundles; optical fibre cables other than those of heading 8544; sheets and plates of polarising material; lenses (including contact lenses), prisms, mirrors and other optical elements, of any material, unmounted, other than such elements of glass not optically worked	—	—
900101	Optical fibres and optical fibre bundles; optical fibre cables other than those of heading 8544	1%	—
900199	Others	1.2%	—

Drawback items follow the 4-digit heading, not the 8-digit code: claim the one that describes your goods. Rates of notification 77/2023-Customs (N.T.) as amended, in force on 19 Oct 2026.

Export incentives (RoDTEP and RoSCTL)

RoDTEP, Appendix 4R (exports from the domestic tariff area): 0.5% of the FOB value, until 31 Dec 2026.
RoDTEP, Appendix 4RE (exports under Advance Authorisation, EOU or SEZ): 0.3% of the FOB value, until 31 Dec 2026.

Export policy (DGFT ITC(HS) Schedule 2)

What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 9001 90, and China's below.

China: the same goods (9001 90)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 3 in force and 12 expired under 9001 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
9001.90.10.00	Colour filters彩色滤光片	0%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	0%	13%	13%	None
9001.90.90.70	Unmounted optical elements of germanium metal未装配的锗金属制光学镜片	0%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	0%	13%	13%	3
9001.90.90.90	Other optical elements, not specified in heading 9001品目9001未列名的其他光学元件	0%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	0%	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.
