Duty deferment vs zero upfront duty: choose the warehousing regime that fits re export or domestic sale strategy and logistics. FTWZ permits duty deferment while goods remain in the zone, supports re exports and global distribution, and imposes no time limit on storage. CBW permits storage with zero upfront duty, is suited to domestic sales and imports, and generally restricts storage to a limited period. Selection hinges on whether goods are intended for re export and distribution (FTWZ) or for domestic clearance and sale (CBW). (AI Summary)
