Dear Sharad,
Ware house is used for store of Material and not used for providing Output services, In my view he is no eligible to take CENVAT Credit.

Dear Sharad Ji,
In my opinion the person should get the input service tax credit. However, it will be interesting to know the details about what the importer does the business of those goods.
