Manufacturing in India as a US company
For US manufacturers moving production into India, MOOWR offers a way to bring in capital equipment and inputs without paying customs duty at the port, and without committing to an export obligation.
The standard rate applies
India and the United States do not have a comprehensive free trade agreement in force, so imports from the US attract the standard duty. Check the status of any bilateral arrangement before relying on a preferential rate.
Serve India and export from one unit
A MOOWR unit can sell into India and export from the same premises. Duty on inputs used in exports is remitted. Duty on inputs used in goods sold in India is paid on clearance, without interest.
