Made in a UAE free zone
Produce in a UAE free zone. Export without taxes.
We develop, register and make your product at our partner production in a UAE free zone — and ship it to the GCC, MENA and India with no UAE taxes on the way out.
How it works
Three zeros and one origin between your recipe and the export shelf.
Your product is made at our partner production in a UAE free zone and leaves the UAE without taxes on the way out. UAE origin then opens the GCC and India on better terms.

Made in UAE
UAE origin moves through the GCC customs union without duty and can claim relief under the UAE–India CEPA.
Plain facts, so your accountant agrees with us: products sold inside the UAE carry the standard 5% VAT, and every destination market applies its own import rules. We show the numbers for your product and market on a call.

Learn moreFree-zone production: questions
Is production in a UAE free zone really tax-free for export?
For export, yes on the UAE side: exports are zero-rated for VAT, no UAE customs duty is charged when goods leave, and our free-zone company works under the 0% corporate tax regime for qualifying free-zone income. The destination market applies its own import rules.
What if I also sell inside the UAE?
Products sold inside the UAE carry the standard 5% VAT, and goods moving from the free zone into the UAE mainland are cleared through customs. We plan the split between UAE sales and export with you.
Do I need my own company in the free zone?
No. You can produce with us under your own brand without setting up a UAE company. If you want your own entity later, we can introduce you to the right free zone.
Does UAE origin lower duties in other markets?
Within the GCC customs union, goods of UAE origin generally move without customs duty with a valid certificate of origin. Into India, the UAE–India CEPA can reduce duty for qualifying goods. Registration and labels are still required in each market.
Which free zone do you produce in?
We work with partner production in a UAE free zone and don't publish partner names. We share details on the call, once we know your product.
