Indian Party Seeks Guidance on Excise Duty, Service Tax, and Export Laws for Testing Materials for US Client A party from India sent materials to a local lab for testing on behalf of a foreign client from the USA. They seek guidance on documentation requirements under excise, service tax, and export laws. The response advises that excise duty is applicable on samples cleared for testing. Since other charges are unspecified, service tax liability is assumed absent. The export documents should reflect all costs, including testing, and the purchase order should clearly state the inclusive final price. It is recommended to receive the Bank Realization Certificate (BRC) as a single amount covering all costs as per the export documents. (AI Summary)
