Service tax paid on air freight-input credit

We are importing Inputs over Air Rout, C&F Agent is processing our Imports. He is paying the Air Freight on behalf of us and latter on we are reimbursing the Freight.

The Air Freight bills are benn raised on our company. But the bill are cleared by the C &F Agent and latter on we are reimbursing the Freight charge along with the service tax component to C & F agent.

He is not taking the credit of service tax charged on the Air Freight Bills.

Can we claim the input credit on the Freight charges as the bill being raised in the name of our compnay.?

thank you all for your valuable advises in advance.

If you are paying the duty on final product then you are eligible to take cenvat credit. 

Thank You Mr.Arun,

Another query is... The C&F Agent billing for Reimbursement expences along with the Local freight charges for transporting the goods from Airport to opur factory. And he is charging the service tax on Local freight.

Can we claim the service tax on local freight as input credit?
