Can you export it?
What India ships
India exported $597k under ITC-HS 29224220 in FY 2025-26. That is down 14.7% 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 29 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 for HS heading 2922 depends on the drawback item: 292201 2.5%; 292202 2.5% (N-methyl J Acid); 292203 2.5% (Meta Phenylene Diamine 4- Sulphonic); 292204 2.3% (6-CAPS(6-Chloro Aminophenol-4- Sulphonic Acid)); 292299 1.2% (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.
