As per circular 723 dated 19.9.1995, no tax must be deducted u/s 194C or 195  on payments made to Indian Shipping agent clearing and shipping goods on behalf of a non resident company.

Where clearing from customs is done by a separate agent and shipping is done by anther agent then should tds be deducted from the clearing charges alone?
