GST on International dropshipping

Https://taxadda.com/gst-on-dropshipping-business/#:~:text=GST%20on%20Dropshipping%20business%20when%20goods%20are%20purchase%20from%20outside,SGST%20or%20IGST%20as%20applicable.

No need to pay gst

GST will be applicable.

GST is not applicable in this case by any imagination whatsoever.

How GST will be applicable can you elaborate Rashmi madam?

As you have made supply of goods to USA , gst will be applicable. However you can claim refund later on.

If you have LUT, the you can sale goods without GST.

The supply will be classified under high sea sales and not taxable. Both the legs of the concerned transaction are neither falling under the definition of import or export

Agreed with CA Altamush Zafar after reading all laws what I sum up is

In international dropshipping cases, GST will not be levied. According to para 7 of the Schedule III of the CGST Act[1], any supply/transaction that takes place in the non-taxable location with no connection to the home country shall not be treated under the GST regime. If the merchant belongs to India and completes the entire business transaction outside the nation then in such case the GST will not be applied.
