Key Advantages of Liquor Warehouse:
Our Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) services offer significant benefits for liquor warehouses in India, enabling businesses to import, store, and export alcoholic beverages without paying import duties until goods enter the domestic market. This reduces costs, improves flexibility, and optimizes supply chain efficiency. FTWZ simplifies customs processes and allows for large inventory storage without immediate duty payments. Located near key ports and hubs, it accelerates distribution. In summary, FTWZ services help liquor businesses cut costs, streamline operations, and access global markets efficiently.
- No FSSAI NOC Required for Imports into FTWZ: No FSSAI NOC is required for imported liquor consignments entering the FTWZ, streamlining the liquor supply chain by eliminating delays, reducing compliance burdens, and enabling faster market access for international alcoholic beverage brands.
- Bond-Free Operations: Unlike traditional Customs Bonded Warehouses, FTWZ operations eliminate the requirement for bond execution, removing concerns related to bond expiry or renewal for your liquor stock.
- Zero Interest on Customs Duty: Defer customs duties until clearance into India.
- Effortless Re-Export Facilitation: Our FTWZ enables easy and compliant re-export of unsold, damaged, or excess liquor inventory to third countries
- Flexible Foreign Ownership and Control: Foreign liquor suppliers can store, manage, and sell their alcoholic beverages in India while retaining ownership until the point of sale, eliminating the immediate need to establish an Indian entity. This offers significant flexibility for international liquor brands.
- Foreign Currency Transactions: Conduct your liquor trade business in major foreign currencies like USD, Euro, etc., deferring INR conversion until the exact point of clearance, providing financial flexibility and currency risk management.
- Part Clearance Model (Batch-wise Clearance): Gain unmatched flexibility by clearing liquor goods in smaller batches, even as minimal as one case, as per real-time market demand. You pay duty only on the quantity cleared, optimizing cash flow and inventory holding costs.
- Pre-Approved Value Addition Services: Our FTWZ allows for a range of essential value-added services under SEZ Rules, including repacking, relabeling, barcoding, kitting, and statutory labeling for your liquor products, ensuring market readiness and compliance.
- Avoid Port Congestion and Charges: By facilitating direct cargo movement from port to our FTWZ, you can effectively avoid detention and demurrage charges at ports, ensuring cost-efficient and timely liquor distribution.

It simplifies logistics, reduces delays, and enhances compliance, offering a streamlined distribution process that supports timely delivery, inventory management, and regulatory adherence for your duty-free liquor business.
