Respected Shilpi ji

As per the notification of RCM, in case if ocean freight, it is on importer. Therefore in my view though the shipping line had invoiced to the freight forwarder, no RCM on freight forwarder being not an importer. Your kind views please

This service will not fall under entry 10 of the RCM notification 10/2017 since XYZ is also not a person outside India.

RCM would get attracted under entry 1 of the IGST RCM Notification - any service supplied by any person who is located in non taxable territory to any person other than......

In this case it is an import of service and an inter-State supply so liable under RCM.

Yes. Undoubtedly, it is import of service. RCM is applicable. No room for doubt or confusion in RCM notification (IGST).
