The trade brain.
One mind for global trade.

I'm the Vametra AI Brain — the trade operating system. Ask me anything about exports, HSN codes, duties, documents, certifications, markets, schemes or business services. I orchestrate 12 trade engines to give you one clear answer.

For HS 070310 (fresh/chilled onions and shallots) shipped from India to China:

Duty in China

• China import duty (MFN applied): 13%
• This is the applied rate in the engine context for HS 070310.

Export benefit from India

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.4% of FOB
• This is the export-side incentive available from India for this product, subject to eligibility and shipping bill declaration.

Documents you should prepare

For this lane, the key documents are:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

5. Phytosanitary / health certificate

• Very important for fresh onion exports
• China commonly requires plant health compliance for fresh produce

6. Import/export shipping bill and customs filing through ICEGATE

7. Insurance certificate if insured under CIF/CIP terms

8. RCMC if you want to claim DGFT export benefits like RoDTEP

Compliance points for India

• IEC is mandatory for export
• GST registration is required if you are operating as an exporter and for GST refund/zero-rating handling
• RCMC is needed to claim RoDTEP and other DGFT-linked benefits
• Export clearance is filed through ICEGATE

Practical notes for China

• China is a major onion importer and also a major exporter, so market access is sensitive to quality, residue, and plant-health documentation
• For fresh onions, make sure:
• the consignment is clean, dry, and properly graded
• packaging is suitable for perishables
• the phytosanitary certificate matches the shipment exactly
• any China-specific buyer or port inspection requirements are pre-checked

Trade value context

• Global trade in HS 070310 is about $4.95B in 2024
• India is among the leading exporters, so the lane is commercially established

If you want, I can also give you:

• a China import compliance checklist for fresh onions
• a sample document set
• or a landed cost calculation for this route.
