Businesses are dealing with a growing complexity to their global supply chain due to high logistics costs, constantly changing compliance requirements and increased customer expectations for faster delivery. To remain competitive in the global marketplace, exporters require more than just space to store their goods, they must have integrated solutions that allow for the smooth flow of goods through a company’s end-to-end supply chain across international borders.
FTWZ Solutions provide an essential role in meeting these demands.

Understanding Modern FTWZ Solutions
FTWZs used to be seen by businesses mostly as places to store goods. Today, FTWZ Solutions are full Logistics solutions which include warehousing, customs support, inventory management, value-added services, compliance assistance, export coordination and much more.
By consolidating all of these functions under one roof, exporters can simplify their operations, increase visibility throughout their supply chains and respond quicker to shifts in global demand.
Companies engaged in international trade can benefit from comprehensive FTWZ solutions that will improve their cash flow, shorten lead times and establish distribution centers for multiple global markets.
Why Global Exporters Need End-to-End FTWZ Solutions
Some of the common barriers faced by international importers include:
- High inventory carrying costs
- Complex customs procedure
- Market-specific packaging and labelling requirements
- Limited visibility on inventory movement
- Delays from fragmented logistics processes
- Increased transportation and handling costs
End-to-end FTWZ Solutions solve these issues by offering a consolidated platform to store, process, manage and export your inventory.
Rather than using multiple vendors for warehousing, compliance, transportation and documentation, companies can manage all of their export activities through one fully integrated FTWZ partner.
This results in more efficient operations and less risk throughout the entire supply chain.
What OSV Offers at Every Stage of the Export Journey
Stage 1: Preparation For Exporting By Trade Planning
The foundation for a successful export operation involves developing a carefully prepared plan.
Before bringing any inventory into the FTWZ, OSV will work with businesses to determine their product specifications, destination of the export, how much product they would like to store, and compliance requirements associated with their exports. Once all of the assessments have been completed, this information is used to help the exporter establish an organized approach for managing inventory and shipping internationally.
Through OSV FTWZ Solutions, OSV will help businesses to identify the following:
- Storage requirements for each item
- Inventory planning for each item in the warehousing facility
- Value-added services required for each item
- Required export documentation associated with each item
- Compliance issues for each item
Creating a solid foundation in these areas will provide the required support to ensure smooth operation throughout the export process.
Stage 2: Receipt of Goods into FTWZ
Goods imported or transferred in to be put into a FTWZ are placed into a customs-controlled environment, which provides an efficient means to handle and store goods once an item arrives.
FTWZ Solutions have the advantage of allowing goods that were imported into the FTWZ to be stored without having to pay any duty at the time of receipt. This deferred duty system provides companies with working capital while allowing them to have the items in stock available to export to another country at a later date.
After this phase is completed, OSV performs the following:
- Cargo received in an efficient manner
- Verification of quantities of inventory received
- Proper security for handling

This provides exporters a means to set up inventory closer to where they will be importing the items, with no unnecessary financial burden associated with the duty of payment.
