In case of GST under reverse charge on ocean freight, for FOB contracts, importer to pay IGST @ 5% as per Sr. No.9(ii) of Notification. No. 8/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate) on freight charges paid to the foreign shipping line. In case of CIF Contracts, importer to pay IGST @ 5% as per Sr. No.9(ii) of Notification. No. 8/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate) on 10% of the CIF value as per Bill of Entry (Without considering the Gujarat High Court decision). Is my understanding correct sir?
