HS 0804.50. The schedule base rate is 6.6¢/kg; importers from India actually paid 1.18% on the dutiable value in 2026-06. Measured, not modelled.
Over the window the collected rate moved 0.91% (2023-07) → 1.18% (2026-06), largest single step -50.2pp in 2025-12.
India's lower duty (1.18% vs 25.08%) lets it price up to 23.6% above China at the factory and still match on duty-inclusive customs cost. But on the LATEST measured prices, India actually lands cheaper — $4.39/kg vs $11.09/kg (duty in, freight out).
7 Chapter-99 measures name India; scope mapping is partial (several annexes are PDFs) — absence never means exemption. They do not sum, and some are product-specific — the collected rate above is the composed truth.
