About Jurisdiction
Name and Description
  • Title: Jebel Ali Free Zone
  • Description:

    Jafza (Jebel Ali Free Zone) is a free economic zone (free zone) established in 1985 in the Emirate of Dubai, UAE. Jafza has established itself as a leading logistics and industrial hub in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (MEASA) region, offering high-quality solutions enhanced by innovative and technological services.

    Jafza provides a unique business ecosystem for companies operating in trade, logistics, manufacturing, and distribution sectors. The free zone offers modern infrastructure and direct access to port and aviation logistics. Located near Jebel Ali Port, the world’s largest deepwater port, and Al Maktoum International Airport, Jafza provides entrepreneurs with rapid access to key international transportation routes. Companies registered in Jafza are permitted to conduct business within the free zone and beyond the UAE.

    Jafza issues the following types of business licenses:

    • Trading (wholesale and retail)Professional (provision of services)
    • Industrial (manufacturing)
    • Logistics
    • E-commerce

    With its strategic location and advanced infrastructure, Jafza offers direct access to key markets in the Middle East and North Africa through a unique "sea-land-air" logistics corridor within a single customs zone. This significantly speeds up cargo movement without the need for intermediate customs checks, reducing costs and shortening logistics timeframes.

Advantages

The Jafza company registration provides various benefits and opportunities for entrepreneurs:

  • Access to local and global markets. Companies registered in the free zone can conduct business within the free zone and beyond the UAE. This helps to expand business, create and strengthen partnerships and and enables interaction with clients and partners worldwide.
  • Strategic location. The free zone is situated near Jebel Ali Port, one of the world’s largest deep-water ports, and Al Maktoum International Airport. This prime location provides swift access to international transportation routes, positioning the free zone as a key logistics hub for global trade.
  • Remote company registration. The free zone enables entrepreneurs to establish their business remotely, without the need for physical presence in the UAE, providing convenient access to the registration process from anywhere in the world.
  • Full profit control. The free zone enables foreign entrepreneurs to retain 100% ownership of their company, granting full control over profits and unrestricted capital repatriation outside the UAE. This fosters an optimal environment for strategic financial planning and efficient business management, free from limitations on economic activities.
  • Wide range of business activities. The free zone offers an extensive list of business activities, enabling entrepreneurs to develop projects in various industries, including trade, logistics, manufacturing, e-commerce, and professional services.

These zones exempt goods from VAT, provided the criteria set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) are met, allowing companies to minimize their tax burden.
