1. This is the case of inward transportation and therefore, you can take credit of the service tax paid on input received by you.
2. This is the case of outward transportation. In this case as per definition of 'input service' under Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 outward transportation only upto the place of removal is treated as 'input service'. As in your case if place of consignment agent is place of removal then you can validly take credit....
Further in case 2, for excise duty purpose, outward transportation cost will be included in assessable value.
