Third Country Export from India | AWAT Logistics FTWZ Services

Are you navigating the complexities of global trade, particularly when it comes to exporting goods from India to third countries?

We offer significant advantages for importers, exporters, and especially third-country traders seeking efficient, compliant, and cost-effective export solutions.

AWAT Logistics ensures fast, compliant, and cost-effective global trade through our FTWZ facility in India, enabling seamless third-country exports.

Why Choose AWAT Logistics for Third Country Export?

Our FTWZ services are specifically tailored to empower your third-country export strategies, providing unparalleled flexibility and financial benefits. Discover how we can optimize your global distribution model.

Effortless Export Without Regulatory Barriers: Third Country exports unsold, damaged, or rejected cargo to any third country with absolute ease. Our FTWZ environment eliminates complex customs complications, additional duties, and bureaucratic delays. This ensures your goods move swiftly across borders.
Zero Duty & Tax Exposure for exports: Goods stored within our FTWZ are considered outside the Indian customs territory. This means you incur zero duty and tax liabilities until (and only if) the goods are cleared for the Indian domestic market. For third-country exports, this translates directly to significant cost savings.
Bypass Traditional Infrastructure: Streamline your logistics by avoiding the need for Customs Freight Stations (CFS), Customs Bonded Warehousing, or Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) warehousing. Route your shipments directly through our FTWZ for maximum efficiency and reduced handling points
Global Trade Flexibility & Foreign Ownership: Transact in foreign currencies (USD, Euro, GBP, etc.) and retain foreign ownership of your goods until the point of sale. This offers unparalleled financial flexibility for international businesses, allowing you to manage global inventory without localizing ownership prematurely.
Seamless Value Addition for export: Enhance your products within our FTWZ, preparing them perfectly for their onward journey to the third country. We offer pre-approved services under SEZ (Special Economic Zone) laws, including:
- Repacking & Re-labeling
- Kitting & Assembly
- Consolidation & De-consolidation
- Quality Control Checks
- Minor processing

Optimize Lead Times & Inventory Management: Position your inventory closer to demand centers in India or the broader Asian market. Our FTWZ acts as an extension of your origin warehouse, drastically reducing lead times and allowing for faster response to global market demands.
Part Clearance Flexibility (if applicable for partial DTA entry): While primarily for third-country export, if you ever need to clear a portion for the Indian domestic market, our FTWZ allows for part clearance (even as little as 1 kg), paying duties only on the cleared quantity.
Quality Checks Before Export: Conduct thorough quality checks and release samples prior to any duty payment or third-country export. This ensures only compliant and high-quality goods leave our facility, protecting your brand reputation.
Avoid Demurrage & Detention Charges: Minimize costly port-side penalties by efficiently moving your shipments directly from the port to our FTWZ upon arrival, reducing dwell times and associated charges.
Operate Without an Indian Entity: Foreign companies can legally operate and trade from our FTWZ without the necessity of setting up an Indian subsidiary, simplifying market entry and third-country export operations.
Export Consolidation & Incentives: Utilize our FTWZ for consolidating goods for third-country export, potentially accessing export incentives upon goods movement from DTA to FTWZ (where applicable).
