1) How to deal with a situation when the exporter from other country adds sea freight in his invoice and the importer from India has to pay sea freight to that supplier. Please let me know the liability for deducting Tax at source on sea freight in such case.
2) In a case where sea freight, transport charges are paid by our CHA agent and the importer is reimbursing the same to CHA agent. Should the importer deduct Tax at Source on such expense while making payment to CHA?
Thanking you and waiting for an early reply from your side.

For the first part, to my knowledge and understanding the sea freight included shall also be a part of the same income of the exporter(i.e., NR) Hence depending upon the taxability of the actual income of the NR from this transaction in hand, wht or tds shall be complied on such freight also.
