What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 8476 89, and China's below.

China: the same goods (8476 89)

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 8476 89. 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
8476.89.00.10	Money-changing machines钱币兑换机	0%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line)	0%	13%	13%	None
8476.89.00.90	Other automatic vending machines not incorporating heating or refrigerating devices其他无加热或制冷装置的自动售货机	12%MFN rate (no APTA concession on this line)	12%	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.
