Free: 4 tariff items

What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 8463 90, and China's below.

China: the same goods (8463 90)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force and 2 expired under 8463 90. 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
8463.90.00.30	Roll-forming machine tools; spin-forming machine tools with roll-forming function滚压成形机床;具有滚压功能的旋压成形机床	9%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line)	9%	13%	13%	3
8463.90.00.90	Other non-cutting machine tools其他非切削加工机床	9%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line)	9%	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.
