Buying Ceiling Fans from Delhi Wholesaler shop for Export to Australia by Buyer's Agent

Hi All, I am Australian Citizen and looking to buy approx. 10 Pcs of Ceiling Fans (Estimated invoice value Rs30,000)  from Delhi Wholesaler shop and I have one friend in Delhi, who will buy on behalf of me and will send it through shipping company to Australia. I don't want to pay 18% GST, because it is export from India and I think it is exempt from GST. My question is how it will work and What should be the Step by step procedure to save 18% GST, like Bill, Address on bill, shipping bill,  Payment from India or Australia, how to convince seller? Thanks

Quick Summary
An Australian citizen is seeking guidance on purchasing ceiling fans from a Delhi wholesaler for export to Australia. The main concern is avoiding the 18% GST, as exports are typically zero-rated. The discussion covers the process of exporting goods, including the use of a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) to avoid upfront GST payment and claiming refunds if GST is paid. It also touches upon the required documentation, such as shipping bills, and how to provide proof of export to the seller.

As per Indian GST law export is Zero rated supply ( No GST ) one can export goods by paying GST 18 % and claim refund , so exporter can claim refund whatever. GST he has paid .
Another way he can export goods by submitting Later of Undertaking ( subject to conditions) wherein no GST is payable . exporter can export the goods both way .
So no question of savings GST .

Thank you Prasad Sir for your quick reply, Is there any last date for submitting the LUT, where the invoice is to be issued on 5 August 2021. Secondly, what kind of proof exporter needs to show goods are successfully exported. Do you think a copy of shipping bill is required and Can we email the exporter a copy of shipping bill?
