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 100630 (rice, semi-milled or wholly milled) from India to China:

Duty in China

• Import duty (MFN applied): 33%
• This is the baseline customs duty shown for HS 100630 on the India→China lane.
• China may also apply import VAT and, depending on product specifics, other border charges; those extra taxes are not in the engine context, so treat them as payable in addition to duty and verify in China Customs at filing.

India-side export benefit

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.0% of FOB
• This is the main export incentive indicated for this product lane.

Documents you should prepare

Core export set for India→China:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• Fumigation / phytosanitary or inspection certificate where required for rice shipments
• LC documents if payment is by letter of credit
• Insurance certificate

Compliance in India

You’ll generally need:

• IEC from DGFT
• GST registration
• RCMC if you want to claim export incentives like RoDTEP
• Customs filing through ICEGATE

Practical benefits / trade angle

• India is the world’s largest exporter of HS 100630 rice, with 2024 exports of about $10.82B
• China imported about $611.1M of this HS in 2024, so there is real market demand, though China is not among the top buyers
• For export competitiveness, the key lever here is RoDTEP, while the biggest landed-cost barrier on the China side is the 33% MFN duty

If you want, I can next give you a shipment checklist for rice from India to China or a landed-cost example per 1 container.
