Global trade has evolved, and India’s Free Trade Warehousing Zones (FTWZs) are transforming how businesses manage re-exports and third-country shipments.
At Awat Logistics, we help companies leverage Third Country Export via FTWZ to simplify documentation, save costs, and expand their international trade reach without customs complications.
What Is Third Country Export via FTWZ?
Third-country export refers to goods imported into India and then exported to another country, without being cleared for domestic use.
When routed through an FTWZ, this process allows companies to store, consolidate, label, and re-export goods efficiently — all under duty-free conditions.
How the Process Works
- Import to FTWZ: Goods arrive at an Indian port and are transferred to an FTWZ without paying customs duties.
- Warehousing & Value Addition: Inside the FTWZ, goods can be repackaged, labeled, tested, or even assembled.
- Export to Destination Country: The goods are re-exported to another country without entering the Indian market — saving both time and taxes.
- Simplified Documentation: All customs procedures are handled within the FTWZ, making compliance seamless.
Key Benefits of Third Country Export via FTWZ
✅ Duty-Free Transactions: No import duties or taxes when goods stay within the FTWZ.
✅ Faster Global Shipments: Direct re-export reduces logistics time and paperwork.
✅ Inventory Flexibility: Store goods safely and re-export when demand arises.
✅ Enhanced Cash Flow: No blockage of working capital due to customs duties.
✅ Global Reach: Consolidate goods from multiple countries and ship worldwide.
