FAQs
What is a free zone?
A free zone, often known as a free trade zone, is a specified geographical area inside each emirate. It might exist as a result of several nations coming to an amicable arrangement to establish a customs-free zone in a certain location. The absence of taxes and customs in the free zone makes it an essential tool for fostering trade, particularly in the import and export of a wide range of goods.
What companies can be a part of the SAIF Zone?
The SAIF Zone is perfect for all kinds of commercial, service, and industrial enterprises. The type of business is more important than its size.
