Import & Export on Ras Al Khaimah Mainland

Why Ras Al Khaimah

As a rule, ras Al Khaimah mainland licences are issued by the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development (RAK DED), which currently processes most standard files in around 4 working days (Monday to Friday). Importantly, popular districts for a Ras Al Khaimah mainland office include Al Nakheel, Al Dhait, Al Hamra, Al Marjan Island and Al Qusaidat, each with different rent levels and customer footfall. Just as important, ras Al Khaimah is a sensible home for import & export because importing goods into the UAE and exporting or re-exporting them to regional and global markets is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
