Kinda Wished some CA would answer... But it seems the same old the same old and there are no shortcuts.
Anyway, To answer my own question, No for both, unless you're importing from a associated enterprise. " Associated enterprise" has been defined a lot : Like holding 51% of the exporting company etc... Basically, If you're importing from a company you're having no relationship with(relation in the sense, that you have significant interest in the P&L of that company) , You're clear. That transaction will not be considered a international transaction, but as a cross border transaction.
