Yes, with LUT or Bond.

As per FAQ: Question 5:

The supplies to a SEZ unit or SEZ developer are treated as zero rated supplies in the GST Law. Then why there is no specific mention in the GST Law about not charging of tax in respect of supplies from DTA unit to a SEZ unit or SEZ developer?

Answer: Yes, supplies made to an SEZ unit or a SEZ developer are zero rated. The supplies made to an SEZ unit or a SEZ developer can be made in the same manner as supplies made for export:

• either on payment of IGST under claim of refund;

• or under bond or LUT without payment of any IGST.

Great reply by Himanshu sir, there is one more option available for supply to sez i.e Bond + BG if you are not eligible for LUT.

Expert Sha has rightly enlightened

Clearance to SEZ is treated as physical export from the taxation perspective unlike the clearance to EOU.

Since the clearance to SEZ is a physical export , it can be cleared either without payment of IGST on bond or LUT or on payment of IGST under claim of Rebate.

However, the clearances to EOU will be on payment of IGST or CGST+SGST as applicable like any other domestic supplier
