10 July 2014 As per Section 66D(p) of Finance Act which deals with negative list of services,
transporatation of goods by aircraft and vessel is exempted from a place OUSIDE INDIA to the customs station of clearance in India.

This means Transportation of goods by aircraft and vessel within India is Txble.
