Indian opium exports to China

Sino-British Opium Agreement and the end of the India-China opium trade

Agreement of 1907 provided for a phased reduction of Indian opium exports to China by one-tenth each year over ten years from 1908; the trade ended in 1913. NOT verified by me against a primary text in this pass, the Statistical Abstract series I could read stops at 1903-04.

UnconfirmedOfficial record. Source: Not found in the sources I read; would need the India Office opium files and the 1908-1913 Statistical Abstracts

The record for 1907 is thin. Figures and events not shown here have not been found in the sources, not been found to be zero.
