MPLS always prefers the per-LSP method of matching and setting EXP bits by means of applied policies over the per-VR method.
Per-VR matching of EXP bits is not performed on the LSP when an input policy (matching on incoming EXP bits) is attached to the ingress segment of the LSP.
Similarly, per-VR setting of EXP bits is not performed on the LSP when an output policy (setting the outgoing EXP bits) is attached to the egress segment of the LSP.
