Hi
Sender and Recipient both are register in same state ie 07
If you send Goods through courier from India to outside India through Courier Agent. Then in that case courier Agent will charge IGST on Freight/Courier Charge Invoice or CSST and SGST. Please advise.

Thanks.

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the correct GST treatment for courier charges when sending goods from India to overseas. The consensus leans towards IGST being applicable on freight/courier charges for exports, as these are considered zero-rated supplies under GST. This allows for input tax refunds on services used for export.

If you are sending goods through a courier from India to outside India and the movement of goods is considered an export, then IGST should be charged on the freight or courier charge invoice. This is because exports are considered zero-rated supplies under GST and are eligible for a refund of the input taxes paid on the goods or services used in the export. So the GST charged on the freight or courier charge invoice is IGST.
