IF SERVICE TAX CHARGED BY YOUR CLIENT IS FULL RATE OF TAX i.e 10.30% (wihtout taking abatement), then you can take cenvat credit of such freight because for you this freight inward.
If he is charging 25% of 10.30% i.e availing abatment. then you can't take credit of it.

The person who is purchasing the goods , for him frieght charged by supplier will be freight inwards, for which credit of service tax can be taken if he has charged full rate of service tax.
