Presently the services of transportation of goods by an vessel or aircraft from outside India upto the customs station of clearance in India are not subject to service tax. However w.e.f. 01.06.2016, the services provided by shipping company shall be subject to service tax.
If such shipping company is outside India, than you shall be liable to pay service tax under reverse charge mechanism. Further there is an abatement of 70% on such services, thus you shall discharge your service tax liability on 30% value.
