Thank you for all your help on this website, I check it a lot. I am buying various items in India and then shipping them by courier to the U.S. I have an IEC code. My questions are.

1. Do I need to register for a VAT # even though there is no VAT charged on exports?

2. Do I need to pay TDS on the amount I am paying to the courier for international shipment of exports? I'm thinking the answer is "no" to both of these, but have heard various things, so I wanted to double check with the experts. Thanks :)

 

in His grace,
