GST on freight: air freight taxed higher while ocean freight attracts a lower rate; CHA clearing services taxed generally.
GST on freight forwarding and related agency services applies generally at 18% to freight forwarders, Customs House Agents (CHA) and IATA agents, collectible as CGST plus SGST or as IGST. Air carriage services are taxed at the higher service rate for air freight, while ocean freight is subject to a lower GST rate. CHA clearing services attract GST at the general service rate.
