These charges are covered under GTA. 5 % . RCM is attracted.

any service not covered in any list will attract 18% . hamali is kind of labour service provided for loading and unloading and this service is not covered in exempt list either. Hence hamali charges will attract 18% with full ITC. It would not attract RCM.
