Is outbound rule needed for http responses?

Hello gentle expert,
 
I am trying to adapt the iptables firewall for my hosting server.  That is, http, https will be running on it to serve ecommerce clients.  I have adapted rules to allow tcp inbound services for port 80 and 443.  To be able to respond to the requesting clients, do I need corresponding tcp outbound services on port 80 and 443? Or does the first inbound rule take care of this automatically since anyone that makes a tcp request is most likely to expect a reply?
 
Regards,
 
Adesina
