Is Ex.duty applicable for export?

[somasuntharam amp]

Hello Sir,

This is Soma from Madurai. I have just started exporting Blood collection tube (medical lab items) to SA.

I purchase from Gujarat manufacturer and export from Mumbai air port. My query is the manufacturer is charging ex.duty and sales tax in my invoice. As per my knowledge no duty or tax will be charged for exporter, right? I do not have any exact proof to convince the manufacturer. So, please clarify/advice me on this. Expecting your reply asap. Thanks
