The financial impact, in plain numbers
Under MOOWR, the duty amount stays in your operating accounts instead of being paid upfront at the port — generating pure interest savings before counting any IGST credit cycle benefit.

Frequently asked questions
How long does MOOWR registration take?
30–45 working days for brownfield conversions, 45–75 days for greenfield, from document readiness to licence grant, subject to jurisdictional Customs throughput.
What does the engagement cost?
Engagement fees are scope-dependent and quoted as fixed-fee milestones after the discovery call. We do not bill hourly. Indicative fee bands are shared during the consultation.
Will my production stop during brownfield conversion?
No. Brownfield conversion runs in parallel with operations. Only customs control measures and IT-system integration are added; manufacturing continues uninterrupted.
What if Customs raises objections during licensing?
We handle all representations, replies, and personal hearings before Customs as part of the engagement scope. Most jurisdictional objections are procedural and resolved through standard responses.
Is there any export obligation under MOOWR?
None. Unlike EOU, EPCG or Advance Authorisation, MOOWR has zero export obligation, no NFE requirement, and no minimum value addition.
