About Hamriyah Free Zone

A World-Class Industrial Hub on the Sharjah Coast

Hamriyah Free Zone (HFZ) is one of the UAE's largest and fastest-growing industrial free zones, strategically located along the Arabian Gulf coastline in Sharjah. Its proximity to the Hamriyah Port — featuring a 14-metre deep-water channel — makes it the preferred choice for oil & gas, petrochemicals, marine, steel, construction, timber, food packaging, and light manufacturing businesses that need direct port access alongside their operations.

More than 6,500 companies from over 160 countries have established themselves here, drawn by world-class infrastructure, competitive lease rates, and a business-friendly environment that covers everything from raw material import to finished-goods export — without a local sponsor or partner requirement.

Tax Clarity

What Taxes Apply to Your Hamriyah Free Zone Company?

Hamriyah Free Zone companies benefit from one of the most tax-efficient structures in the UAE — here is what that means in practice.

Is there corporate tax in Hamriyah Free Zone?

Hamriyah Free Zone companies are fully exempt from UAE corporate tax and personal income tax. This exemption applies for the duration of your license, giving you complete certainty on your tax position from day one.

Do I need to register for VAT?

Free zone companies that deal exclusively within the designated zone or export internationally are generally outside the UAE VAT scope. However, if you sell goods or services into the UAE mainland, VAT registration and compliance obligations may apply. Aurion's team can advise on your specific situation.

Are there customs duties on imports?

No. Companies operating within Hamriyah Free Zone pay zero import, export, or re-export customs duty. Goods move in and out of the zone without standard UAE customs fees, making HFZ particularly cost-efficient for trading and manufacturing businesses.

Can I repatriate profits and capital freely?

Yes — Hamriyah Free Zone grants full repatriation of both capital and profits. There are no restrictions on transferring funds abroad, and there is also an option to waive the annual audit report requirement for eligible companies.
