MOOWR Scheme Registration through ICEGATE - Whether Any Further Action Required After Online Application Submission?

[Piyush Choudhary]

Dear Experts,

We have applied for registration under the MOOWR Scheme (Manufacture and Other Operations in Warehouse Regulations, 2019) through the ICEGATE portal and successfully submitted the online application yesterday.

We would like guidance on the post-application process:

1. After online submission, is any further action required from the applicant's side?
2. Do we need to submit hard copies of the application and supporting documents to the jurisdictional Customs authority/Commissionerate?
3. Will the Customs department first scrutinize the online application and raise any query/deficiency through ICEGATE before asking for physical documents?
4. Is there any requirement for a site inspection or verification before approval?
5. What is the typical process and timeline followed by Customs after filing the MOOWR application?

Request experts who have recently completed the MOOWR registration process to share their practical experience and any compliance requirements that should be taken care of at this stage.

Thank you in advance for your valuable guidance.
