Indeed it is export of service since the service receiver is located outside India & you are receiving your fees in foreign currency.

 

GST : Kindly go for LUT option under which GST is not chargeable & you are can claim refund for ITC subsequently.

- GST is levied on the basis of place of supply of services. In your case, place of supply of services is in India and hence you are liable to pay GST on RCM basis. For detailed discussion, please take phone consultation.
