Yes.
On ocean freight, there is a liability under RCM at the rate of 5%. This is payable when service provider (shipping line) is in non-taxable territory.
Tax is payable even if this shipping line is billing the foreign exporter. If we know the value, then GST is payable on that value. Otherwise, GST payable on 10% of CIF value.
