What is FTWZ in India?

A Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) in India is a specially designated area under the SEZ Act, 2005, where imported goods can be stored, processed, and re-exported without paying customs duty upfront. FTWZ India facilities are treated as foreign territory for customs purposes, meaning duty is only paid when goods enter the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) of India.

What are the benefits of FTWZ in India?

Key benefits of FTWZ include: customs duty deferment until goods enter the Domestic Tariff Area, unlimited storage period with no time restrictions, re-export without customs duty, value-added services like packaging and labeling, improved cash flow for importers and exporters, and full regulatory compliance under FTWZ India norms.

How is FTWZ different from a bonded warehouse in India?

An FTWZ is treated as foreign territory - no customs duty, no interest on deferred duty, unlimited storage period, and full value-added services permitted. A bonded warehouse attracts interest on deferred duty after 90 days, has limited value-added capabilities, and stricter re-export conditions. FTWZ offers far greater flexibility than a bonded warehouse.

Where is Transport India 3PL's FTWZ located?

Transport India 3PL operates its FTWZ at Dahej SEZ-1, Bharuch District, Gujarat, India, one of Gujarat's most important industrial and chemical trade hubs, making it ideal for all FTWZ operations.

What types of cargo can be stored at your FTWZ Dahej facility?

Our FTWZ at Dahej handles all cargo types including loaded containers, capital goods, hazardous materials, ISO tanks, temperature-sensitive goods, over-dimensional cargo (ODC), high-value merchandise and general cargo - all under full FTWZ compliance.

What is the difference between FTWZ and SEZ in India?

An SEZ (Special Economic Zone) is a broad category that includes manufacturing, IT and service units. An FTWZ (Free Trade Warehousing Zone) is a specific type of SEZ focused exclusively on warehousing, trading and logistics activities. FTWZ facilities cannot have manufacturing units but offer superior duty deferment and re-export benefits for traders and importers.
