Export policy (DGFT ITC(HS) Schedule 2) of its tariff items
- Free: 4 tariff items
What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 6211 42, and China's below.
China: the same goods (6211 42)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force and 3 expired under 6211 42. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6211.42.10.00 | Other women's sportswear, of cotton棉制其他女式运动服 | 6%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 6% | 13% | 13% | None |
| 6211.42.90.00 | Other women's or girls' cotton garments棉制女式其他服装 | 6%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line) | 6% | 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.
