What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 7412 20, and China's below.

China: the same goods (7412 20)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force under 7412 20. 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
7412.20.10.00	Tube or pipe fittings of copper-nickel alloys or copper-nickel-zinc alloys铜镍合金或铜镍锌合金管子配件	4.6%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	7%	13%	0%	None
7412.20.90.00	Other tube or pipe fittings of copper alloys其他铜合金管子配件	4.6%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	7%	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.
