Free Trade Warehouse Zones
Free Trade Warehouse Zones (FTWZ) is a category of Special Economic Zone (SEZ) with clear focus on Trading and Warehousing governed by the SEZ Act and Rules. The Zones are notified and are under the Ministry of Commerce, with the whole idea of making India as an International Trading Hub. Kerry Indev FTWZs are strategically located near major ports, provide excellent connectivity via rail, road, sea and air transport, and boast of world-class warehouses with state-of-the-art material handling equipment.

Also, Indian Entities can supply and export goods to Overseas Entity within FTWZ and the Overseas Entity can then build their inventory levels, perform all value additions as per the destination country requirement and then ship it out with Kerry Indev as an Exporter on Record making FTWZ a Buyer Consolidation facilitating Pick and Pack Operations.
