If the consignor / consignee is a person specified under Rule 2(1)(d)(v), the consignor / consignee who pays the freight is the person liable to pay service tax.
Please check whether you/consignor fall under any of the specified category. If yes, you or the consignor, who ever pays the freight is the person liable to pay Service tax.
