Why Fujairah
A mainland company in Fujairah can hold a mainland office, hire staff under MOHRE contracts and register with the Chamber of Commerce for tenders. Mainland company formation in Fujairah is the right choice when your customers are inside the UAE, when you need a shop, clinic or contracting classification, or when visa quota matters. As a rule, general Trading in Fujairah means import, export, re-export and wholesale of a broad range of goods under one licence, and it is licensed as a commercial activity. In short, general trading covers multiple unrelated product lines, and for that reason some authorities price it above a single-line trading licence. Restricted goods such as pharmaceuticals, tobacco and precious metals still need their own approvals.
