What this HS code covers, in operational terms

HS 854442 (Other electric conductors, > 1000V) is one of the 10 most-exported sub-codes in the Engineering goods sector. The current RoDTEP rate of 1.40 percent applies to FOB value at filing date, subject to the value caps published in Appendix 4R and the negative-list exclusions in force on the date of filing.

How to calculate your entitlement

For a shipment of HS 854442 at FOB value F (in INR), the basic RoDTEP entitlement is approximately F × 0.0140, subject to the per-unit or per-kg value cap notified in Appendix 4R. Add the Drawback (0.65 percent) where the dual-claim notification permits it, and any applicable RoSCTL (for chapters 61, 62, 63 only).
