Export policy (DGFT ITC(HS) Schedule 2) of its tariff items

Free: 2 tariff items

What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 5513 13, and China's below.

China: the same goods (5513 13)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force and 6 expired under 5513 13. 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
5513.13.10.00	Unbleached woven fabrics of polyester staple fibres, mixed with cotton, n.e.s.与棉混纺未漂聚酯短纤其他机织物	7.2%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	8%	13%	13%	None
5513.13.20.00	Bleached woven fabrics of polyester staple fibres, mixed with cotton, n.e.s.与棉混纺漂白聚酯短纤其他机织物	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.
