General Trading on Fujairah Mainland

Why Fujairah

Put simply, among the strengths of a Fujairah mainland licence are direct Indian Ocean port access and World-class bunkering hub, which is why local service businesses gravitate here. Fujairah is the only emirate entirely on the Gulf of Oman, outside the Strait of Hormuz. Fujairah is a sensible home for general trading because import, export, re-export and wholesale of a broad range of goods under one licence is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
