Introduction
A MOOWR warehouse must be equipped with basic infrastructure that allows customs control while supporting smooth business operations. The emphasis is on security, traceability and compliance.
Bonded Area Demarcation
The warehouse must have a clearly marked bonded area approved by Customs. Entry and exit points should be limited and identifiable to prevent unauthorised movement of goods.
Security and Surveillance
CCTV cameras must cover storage areas and all entry and exit points. Footage should be recorded and stored for the period prescribed by Customs. Access to the bonded area must be restricted.
Storage Facilities
Adequate racks, pallets and storage zones should be provided for imported goods, work in progress and finished goods. Proper organisation helps in inventory verification and audits.
Operational Setup
If manufacturing or other operations are carried out, machinery and workstations must be installed within the bonded area as approved in the licence.
Record Keeping Systems
A digital system to track inward and outward movement of goods, consumption and balance is essential for compliance.
Safety and Insurance
Fire safety equipment, emergency exits and insurance coverage for warehoused goods including duty liability are mandatory.
Conclusion
Well planned infrastructure ensures faster approval, smooth inspections and efficient MOOWR operations
