Manufacturing and Other Operations in Warehouse Regulations (MOOWR) Advisory
Comprehensive MOOWR Consultancy and Compliance Management
At DGFT EXIM, we specialize in providing comprehensive consultancy and compliance management services for businesses operating under the Manufacturing and Other Operations in Warehouse Regulations (MOOWR), 2019 framework in India.
What is MOOWR?
The MOOWR scheme, notified by the Government of India, allows manufacturers to import goods (including capital goods and raw materials) duty-free into bonded warehouses for carrying out manufacturing, assembly, packaging, repair, or other permitted operations — with customs duty deferred until the clearance of finished goods for the domestic market. Exports from these bonded facilities are exempt from duty altogether.
This regulation offers significant working capital and operational benefits for manufacturers engaged in both domestic and export activities.
Key Benefits of MOOWR
- 100% duty deferment on imported inputs and capital goods
- No export obligation unlike EPCG/Advance Authorization
- Flexibility to supply domestically or export from bonded warehouse
- Simplified compliance and documentation process
