You are located in another State other than Tamilnadu, this is what I could perceive from query. As the transaction does not fall u/s 3 of CST Act, it cannot be treated as inter-state sale (CST Sale). In such case issue of C form by your Chennai based customer does not arise. Since there is a sale after import within Tamilnadu by you, you need to pay local VAT thereon for which you need to register thereat as a VAT dealer. To avoid VAT legally, you must have done High-Sea Sales u/s.5(2) of CST Act.
