I have few queries. 1. Is TDS deductible on import/export freight, Handling charges ? 2. If yes, it applies to both foreign shipping company or indian shipping company ?

TDS applicable on handling charges u/s 194C. TDS not applicable on freight in view of the following provisions.
Payment to a resident agent of a Non resident Shipping company It should be noted here that in case of a payment to Agents of a non resident Shipowner it is section 172 that will apply and not section 195 as a special provision will always override a general one .

tds will applicable u/s 194C if single bill exceeds rs. 30000/- and in yer rs. 75000/-. but you have to mention you are individual or firm or company.
if your individual business and your turnover exceeds rs. 100 lacs then tds will applicable . and in partner ship and company u have to deduct the tds w/o considering turnover.
in individual case in your turnover is less than rs. 100 lacs then no tds will applicable.
