What is the MOOWR Scheme?
The MOOWR Scheme (Manufacture and Other Operations in Warehouse Regulations) is a duty deferment initiative by the Indian government that allows manufacturers to import raw materials and capital goods without paying customs duties upfront. These operations are carried out in a customs-bonded warehouse, with duties paid only when the finished goods are cleared for domestic sale. If the final products are exported, the deferred duties are entirely waived.
