China: the same goods (8474 80)
China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 3 in force and 2 expired under 8474 80. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8474.80.10.00 | Other roll-forming machines其他辊压成型机 | 3.3%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin | 5% | 13% | 13% | None |
| 8474.80.20.00 | Other moulding machines其他模压成型机 | 3.3%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin | 5% | 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.
