If B recovers exact amount of transport cost from A, enclosing the copy of the bill raised by the transporter, and if B has paid the same amount to the transporter deducting tax at source, no liability to A to deduct tax on the transport charges.
If the freight amount is inclusive of Bill, then the goods are sold by B at C & F basis to A and the question of TDS does not arise.

Payment of Freight would be subject to Tax deduction even when goods are received on "freight to pay basis" as per Circular No. 715 dated 8/8/1995.
