What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 6305 10, and China's below.

China: the same goods (6305 10)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 1 in force and 2 expired under 6305 10. 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
6305.10.00.00	Other sacks and bags, for packing of goods, of jute黄麻制其他货物包装袋	0%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	4%	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.
