What are the Manufacturing Operations Allowed Under the MOOWR Scheme?

Introduction
The MOOWR scheme allows a wide range of manufacturing and value addition activities to be carried out inside a bonded warehouse. The scope is flexible and depends on approval granted by Customs.

Assembly and Integration
Operations such as assembly of components, sub assemblies and integration of parts into finished products are permitted. This is commonly used by electronics and auto component units.

Processing and Fabrication
Manufacturing activities involving processing, machining, fabrication or transformation of imported inputs into new products are allowed, provided they are declared and approved.

Packaging and Repackaging
Packaging, repackaging, labelling, relabelling and kitting of goods are permitted operations under MOOWR. These activities are especially relevant for logistics and distribution focused units.

Testing and Quality Control
Testing, inspection, calibration and quality control processes necessary for manufacturing or market readiness are allowed within the bonded premises.

Repair and Reconditioning
Repair, refurbishment, reconditioning and re engineering of imported goods may be permitted with specific approval from Customs.

Use of Capital Goods
Imported machinery and equipment can be installed and used for manufacturing operations inside the bonded warehouse without upfront duty payment.

Approval Based Framework
Only operations specifically approved by Customs can be carried out. Any change or expansion in activity requires prior permission.

Conclusion
MOOWR supports a broad range of manufacturing operations, from simple assembly to complex production, offering flexibility, duty deferment and strong operational benefits when properly approved.
