OSV FTWZ - India's very ownFree Trade Warehousing Zone

FTWZ stands for Free Trade Warehousing Zone — a special category of Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in India designed for trading and warehousing activities. It allows businesses to import, store, repackage, and re-export goods with significant duty deferment and compliance benefits, without needing a local importer or immediate tax outlay.

Our FTWZ is a true game-changer, offering you a dedicated space where your goods can be efficiently handled and controlled. Unlike traditional customs processes, there is no interference from customs authorities, ensuring a seamless flow of imports, exports, and re-exports. As a specialized category of SEZ, our FTWZ comes with a host of benefits, including customs clearance capability and integrated solutions for packing management, sorting, and inspection, to name a few.

A Free Trade Warehousing Zone is used to store imported and domestic goods in a duty-free environment before they are re-exported or sold into the domestic market. Businesses use FTWZs to defer customs duties, consolidate shipments, manage inventory closer to Indian ports, and handle value-added services like labeling, kitting, and quality checks — all without breaking bulk or paying duty until goods actually leave the zone.

The advantages of using our FTWZ are manifold. With us, you gain access to convenient and efficient solutions for meeting complete and semi-knocked down kits. Moreover, you can enjoy taxation benefits, enhancing your cost-effectiveness. Our specialization in sensitive cargos, such as tilt-sensitive, shock-sensitive, and temperature-sensitive shipments, allows you to trust us with even the most delicate items. Additionally, our expertise in handling everything from small pins to aircraft engines ensures that your shipments are in capable hands.

Unlike a standard bonded warehouse, an FTWZ is treated as foreign territory for trade purposes, offering broader benefits like duty deferment on both import and re-export, no minimum export obligation, and the ability to hold goods indefinitely without customs interference — making it far more flexible for international trading businesses.

Both foreign and Indian companies can use an FTWZ — including those with no legal presence or importer of record in India. This makes it especially useful for international manufacturers, distributors, and trading companies looking to enter or expand in the Indian market without setting up a local entity first.
