We send courier through blue dart courier.
our blue dart is registered in Delhi and we also registered in Delhi. In these terms CGST & SGST applicable on us.
we send a courier to poland and our courier partner charges IGST in bill.
We talk with us and he is says we charge IGST on international courier.
Is this is right to charge to IGST
We can not understand how to claim IGST in our books.

Please help and confirm about this

05 August 2020 For courier outside India, the place of supply of services shall be the location of the recipient of services. He should not be charging IGST.

06 August 2020 As per proviso inserted in section 12(8) of the IGST Act w.e.f. 01.02.2019, the courier is right in charging IGST because the place of supply is outside India and the supplier (courier is in India). Please see the proviso below-
"Provided that where the transportation of goods is to a place outside India, the place of supply shall be the place of destination of such goods."
