FAQ
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers
A Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) is a specially designated “Deemed Foreign Territory” within India. Storing goods at our MEPZ or Kattupalli FTWZs allows you to:
- Defer Customs Duty: Pay duty only when goods enter the domestic market (DTA).
- Save on GST: 100% exemption on GST for warehousing and handling services.
- Improve Cash Flow: Keep your working capital free by avoiding upfront tax payments.
While both allow duty deferment, an FTWZ offers superior advantages:
- Interest-Free: Unlike bonded warehouses, which charge interest on deferred duty after 90 days, FTWZs allow interest-free storage for up to 5 years.
- Value-Added Services: You can perform kitting, labeling, and packing within an FTWZ without complex customs permissions.
- Foreign Ownership: Foreign suppliers can hold inventory in an FTWZ without having a registered office in India.
