What warehouse licence means

Warehouse licence: a free zone facility licence for storing goods.

In practice, warehouse licence appears in licence applications, bank forms and government portals, and misunderstanding it is one of the common reasons applications bounce back. GoldenKey explains the term in the context of your own file so you can sign documents with confidence.

How warehouse licence applies to your company

To be clear, if you are unsure how warehouse licence applies to your situation, send GoldenKey a message and a case manager will explain it for your specific case. GoldenKey handles warehouse licence as part of its company formation, visa and PRO services, so you rarely need to deal with it directly. For mainland companies, warehouse licence matters because the economic department, immigration or the FTA uses it in mainland procedures.
