What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 7402 00, and China's below.

China: the same goods (7402 00)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force and 1 expired under 7402 00. 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
7402.00.00.01	Unrefined copper in ingots锭状未精炼铜	0%China's provisional rate, lower than MFN	2%	0%	0%	None
7402.00.00.90	Other unwrought copper; copper anodes for electrolytic refining其他未精炼铜、电解精炼用铜阳极	0%China's provisional rate, lower than MFN	2%	13%	0%	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.
