ITC claim on reimbursement of freight charges

A small private limited co. makes zero-rated supply (export) without payment of tax and pays freight charges on behalf of overseas buyer. The overseas buyer reimburses the freight charges as per invoice raised by the exporter. As the freight charges are paid by the exporter ITC (@18%) is available to the exporter. Query : Whether the exporter is eligible to claim ITC pertaining to the full amount of freight charges paid by it OR only the unrecoverable amount of freight charges.
