Please Help: TDS

Does the amount paid to a non resident clearing & forwarding agent for the services provided outside India is taxable in India & liable for TDS?
Whether the answer would remain same if payment to that non resident agent was for reimbursement of expenses?
Please answer with the relevant Section of Income Tax Act.
