First of all if the exporter is paying the same it should be seen whether it exceeds the limit prescribed under Not 41/2007 [ valid upto July 2009] and later Not 17/2009. First one specified that copmmission upto 10% is exempt. Therefore no requirement if commission below that %age.
The present notification mention 1% which maybe an error.
Assuming that you have paid for the same under reverse charge since it is eligible input service the credit of the same can be availed.
