Can you export it?
What India ships
India exported $1.2 mn under ITC-HS 59011010 in FY 2025-26. That is down 12.9% on the previous year. National total across every state; it does not say which countries bought it.
What India pays back
GST—GST 5% (Schedule I, HSN 5901)
RoDTEP—RoDTEP notified rate 0.9% 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 5901 depends on the drawback item: 590101 2.8%; 590199 2% (Of Cotton or 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.
