Sale of artifact would not be liable as the goods has not entered India. The service will be an export of service which can be done without payment of GST.

Dear Querist,

Also pl. go through the following:-

SCHEDULE III

[See Section 7]

ACTIVITIES OR TRANSACTIONS WHICH SHALL BE TREATED NEITHER AS A SUPPLY OF GOODS NOR A SUPPLY OF SERVICES

[7. Supply of goods from a place in the non-taxable territory to another place in the non-taxable territory without such goods entering into India

Both transactions are not liable to GST, being out of country.

1. Not liable to GST. It can't be export of goods also since "export of goods" as per Sn.2(5) of IGSTA'17 means taking goods from India to a place outside India.

2. Supplier is in India (since advise by Director is on behalf of the company) and receiver is abroad and hence place of supply in terms of Sn.13(2) of IGSTA'17 is outside India and hence is export of service. Not liable to GST.

Respected Sir, Suppose a business of online gift website which takes orders from Indian customers who send gifts to their families/friends outside India. Here Merchant is taking orders and forwarding to the Supplier based out of India, also the delivery address is outside India but the order was placed by the customer located in India. Shall GST be levied here?
