Postal Bill of Exports (PBE-I) for GST Refunds and Shipping International Orders received on eBay
Postal Bill of Exports PBE-I for GST Refunds for all international sellers on eBay Finally, on 14th June 2018, the government has implemented a method for e-commerce sellers shipping via IndiaPost, to realize their sales as exports. With this step, the e-commerce exporters will be able to receive the GST refund. The duly filled PBE-I has to be furnished by the exporter to the FPO at the time of booking the shipments and it will serve as an equivalent of a Shipping Bill. This will help all of the eBay exporters (crossborder sellers) to receive GST Refunds. I am attaching the format for your reference. Please share your inputs, updates etc to help us all to understand, follow and simplify the procedure. I shall be happy to answer any questions to the best of my understanding on this thread.
