Objective 

To create trade-related infrastructure to facilitate the import and export of goods and services with freedom to carry out trade transactions in free currency

Key features

  • The scheme envisages creation of world-class infrastructure for warehousing of various products, state-of-the-art equipment, transportation and handling facilities, commercial office-space, water, power, communications and connectivity, with one-stop clearance of import and export formality, to support the integrated Zones as ‘international trading hubs’. 
  • These Zones would be established in areas proximate to seaports, airports or dry ports so as to offer easy access by rail and road.
  • The scheme envisages duty free import of all goods (except prohibited items, arms and ammunitions, hazardous wastes and SCOMET items) for ware housing. As far as bond towards customs duty on import is concerned, the units would be subject to similar provisions as are applicable to units in SEZs.
  • Packing or re-packing without processing, and labeling as per customer or marketing requirements could be undertaken within the FTWZ
  • The maximum period that goods shall be permitted to be warehoused within the FTWZ will be two years, after which they shall necessarily have to be re-exported or sold in the DTA(Domestic Tariff Area).
  • The Free Trade & Warehousing Zones (FTWZ) shall be a special category of Special Economic Zones with a focus on trading and warehousing.
