China: the same goods (8519 89)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 2 in force under 8519 89. Exporters see what China charges Indian goods; importers see the rebate and licences their Chinese supplier deals with.

  • 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.
