Generally on the freight component there is no requirement to deduct.
However, other components of the total expense might need a deduction, depending on export / import, foreign / domestic shipping line, if clearance and handling is included etc. Usually Indian shipping agents will provide two invoices. One each for the taxable and non-taxable components.
Do not reverse charge GST might be applicable as well.
