GTA means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note. In your case, whether manufacturing company issues consignment note charging freight?
Services provided by person other than GTA by way of transportation of goods by road are exempt. Services by way of giving on hire, a means of transportation of goods to a GTA are exempt from tax

1 No, such freight will not fall under GTA. 2 The same rate applicable for materials has to be charged. 3 It's not under reverse charge.

Yes Sir Since manufacturing company charges freight from its customer, the composite supply factor is applicable and the same rate applicable for material has to be charged.
I missed the point in the query ' freight from their customer '. I was to correct it immediately but unable to do as I was traveling and lost network connectivity. Error is highly regretted
