Inland haulage charges were treated as part of integrated international shipping operations where cargo movement from origin to port and vice versa formed a single composite transportation activity. The bill of lading supported transport from origin to destination, and the absence of India-China DTAA language specifically referring to directly connected activities was not decisive. Relying on OECD Commentary and co-ordinate bench rulings, the Tribunal held that such charges are directly connected with and ancillary to the operation of ships in international traffic, so they fall within Article 8 and are taxable only in the residence state. The agency PE attribution issue was left open as academic.
