What India ships
India exported $3k under ITC-HS 16055300 in FY 2025-26. National total across every state; it does not say which countries bought it.
What India pays back
GST—GST 5% (Schedule I, HSN 1605)
RoDTEP—RoDTEP notified rate 3% of FOB, capped at Rs 24 per Kg. DGFT has limited benefits under Appendix 4R and 4RE to 50% of the notified rates and value caps. Rates below are the NOTIFIED rates. This limitation has been extended once already. Confirm whether it is still in force before quoting an effective rate.
Duty drawback—Duty Drawback for HS heading 1605 depends on the drawback item: 160501 3% (Shrimp/prawn in frozen form other than Accelerated Freeze Dried (AFD)); 160502 2.6% (Accelerated Freeze Dried (AFD)); 160503 2.9% (Lobster / Crab); 160504 3% (Pasteurised tinned chilled crab meat); 160505 2.9% (Others in chilled or frozen form); 160599 0.15% (Others). The Drawback Schedule uses its own tariff-item numbering below the 4-digit heading and does NOT align with 8-digit ITC-HS codes. A rate here cannot be attributed to a specific ITC-HS line without a broker confirming which drawback item the goods fall under.
