What India ships

What India pays back
GST—GST 18% (Schedule II catch-all — no explicit entry for this code; Schedule II includes 'Any Chapter Goods which are not specified in Schedule I, III, IV, V, VI or VII' (S.No. 639) — an HSN code with no explicit entry below is 18% by the notification's own construction, not an unknown.)
RoDTEP—RoDTEP notified rate 0.5% 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 1.2% of FOB for HS heading 9619. Notification 77/2023-Customs (N.T.) dated 20.10.2023, in force from 30.10.2023.
