Quick Summary
If you export goods from India to the USA and pay GST on services like local transportation and air cargo, you can claim a refund of the unutilised Input Tax Credit (ITC). This is possible even if you are exporting under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT), provided the ITC is not ineligible under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act. The refund process is not automatic and requires specific documentation and application through the GST portal, including GSTR-3B and GSTR-2A/2B.
Yes you can apply for the GST refund. It is not an automatic refund. Working and Documentation needs to be done. However, a combination of IGST paid exports and LUT exports would serve you better

You can apply for refund provided that you have an ITC in credit ledger.
you need to apply from GST Portal.
After login > Services > Refund > Application for Refund.
select option "Refund of ITC on Export of Goods & Services without Payment of Tax"
provide the details. after that you need to upload pdf file of GSTR 3B Return copy, GSTR 2A/2B in which showing invoices filed by party. and other details.
after apply department will process the same. you need to also calculate the refund amount as per calculation provided by Government. (Export turnover/ Total Turnover ) X ITC.
