Export policy (DGFT ITC(HS) Schedule 2) of its tariff items
- Free: 3 tariff items
What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 3504 00, and China's below.
China: the same goods (3504 00)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 3 in force under 3504 00. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3504.00.10.00 | Peptones蛋白胨 | 3%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 3% | 13% | 13% | AR |
| 3504.00.20.00 | Vegetable proteins, with a protein content of >= 90% by dry weight植物蛋白,以干基计蛋白质含量≥90% | 8%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 8% | 13% | 13% | AR |
| 3504.00.90.00 | Other proteins and their derivatives, n.e.s.其他编号未列名蛋白质及其衍生物 | 8%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 8% | 13% | 13% | AR |
- 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.
