Industrial License in Fujairah Free Zone

An industrial licence allows manufacturing, processing, assembling and packaging inside the zone, with land plots, pre-built factories and port-adjacent logistics. Fujairah's east-coast location gives manufacturers direct sea access without Hormuz transit.

The problem

What usually goes wrong

  • Environmental and civil defence approvals discovered after the lease is signed.
  • Power and water capacity not matching the machinery plan.
  • Unclear rules on selling finished goods into the GCC.

Documents you'll need

  • Shareholder passports, photos and address proof

Limits & eligibility

Good to know

  • Free zone entities sell goods to the UAE mainland through customs or a distributor.
  • Regulated activities (food, medical, media, petroleum) need additional approvals.
  • Visa allocation follows facility size; banks decide independently on accounts.
  • Corporate tax applies at 9% above AED 375,000 profit; qualifying free zone income may be 0% subject to conditions.

FAQ

Questions founders ask

Serviced land plots, pre-built warehouses and light industrial units inside the zone, close to the port.

Imports into the free zone for manufacturing are generally duty-suspended; duty applies when finished goods enter the mainland.

Longer than a service licence because of technical approvals; allow several weeks depending on the activity.
