What is FTWZ?

A Free Trade Warehousing Zone is a designated customs-bonded area where imported goods can be stored without immediate payment of duties. These goods can later be re-exported duty-free or cleared for domestic use upon duty payment – giving traders and businesses greater financial flexibility and operational control.

  • Store goods duty-free
