How to Prepare a Warehouse Layout for MOOWR Registration?

Introduction
A clear and compliant warehouse layout is a crucial requirement for MOOWR registration. Customs uses the layout to understand how goods will be stored, handled and monitored within the bonded premises.

Clearly Define the Bonded Area
The layout must clearly mark the bonded warehouse area. This area should be identifiable and preferably segregated from non bonded sections. Entry and exit points must be clearly shown to avoid unauthorized movement of goods.

Show Storage and Operational Zones
The plan should indicate storage locations for imported goods, raw materials, work in progress and finished goods. If manufacturing or other operations are proposed, areas for machinery, processing and packing should be clearly marked.

Indicate Entry Exit and Movement Flow
The layout should show how goods move from receipt to storage, processing and clearance. Vehicle entry points, loading unloading bays and internal movement paths help Customs assess traceability.

Security and Surveillance Details
CCTV camera locations, control rooms, access controlled doors and security checkpoints must be shown on the layout. This assures Customs that the bonded area can be effectively monitored.

Safety and Utilities
Fire exits, fire safety equipment, power supply and emergency access routes should be marked. This demonstrates operational readiness and compliance with safety norms.
