As per 42/2012- ST, Service provided by a commission agent located outside India to an Indian exporter, exemption is available upto 10% of FOB. However this notification not applicable when the commission agent located in India. 

Company can avail the cenvat & utilise it for any other output liable. If no liability is there, it can for refund under notification 27/2012- ST.
