Understanding the MOOWR Scheme in India
The Manufacturing and Other Operations in Warehouse Regulations (MOOWR) Scheme is quickly becoming one of the most attractive opportunities for manufacturers, importers, and global brands entering India. Introduced to promote domestic manufacturing and reduce import dependency, this scheme allows businesses to import goods without paying customs duty upfront.
In simple terms, companies can defer customs duties until the goods are cleared for domestic use. If the goods are exported, the duty may not be payable at all. This creates a major cost advantage, especially for business.
