Can you export it?
What India ships
India exported $1.55 bn under ITC-HS 28182011 in FY 2025-26. That is up 19.7% on the previous year. National total across every state; it does not say which countries bought it.
What India pays back
GST—GST rate for HSN 28 depends on the specific item: 5% (Schedule I) or 18% (Schedule II). This heading has more than one rate in the notification — commonly a value or end-use split (e.g. apparel is 5% below a price threshold, 18% above it). Confirm which applies with a GST practitioner.
RoDTEP—RoDTEP notified rate 0.7% of FOB. 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 1% of FOB for HS heading 2818. Notification 77/2023-Customs (N.T.) dated 20.10.2023, in force from 30.10.2023.
