For import ocean freight, GST under RCM is generally no longer applicable. For export ocean freight, it is treated as a zero-rated supply (0% GST). If you issue a separate invoice for freight, ensure it is classified correctly in your GSTR-1—as zero-rated for exports or based on the applicable service tax rate for domestic legs—to maintain compliance.
