National Industries Park

Emirate DubaiEstablished 2004Type Mainland industrial and logistics park licensed under PCFC, not a free zone
Authority National Industries Park, DP World, under the Ports Customs and Free Zone Corporation

What we think

Publishes a clean industrial tariff: AED 5,000 for a trading or industrial licence, AED 15,000 for general trading or logistics, AED 2,378 for a two-year employee visa. It is mainland, not a free zone, which is exactly why the price is low and the rules different.

Year two, and closing down

The two figures nobody advertises. A cheap first year means nothing if year two doubles, and nothing at all if leaving costs a fortune.

Renewal, per year

not published by the zone

Not separately published. The annual licence fee is understood to repeat at renewal, and a late renewal carries a published AED 500 penalty.

Closing the company
