Why Sharjah & Ajman Free Zone Customs Handling Matters
Sharjah and Ajman free zones are major UAE trade gateways for industries like logistics, automotive, manufacturing, electronics, FMCG, and media.
Businesses benefit from:
✔ 0% import/export duties inside the free zone
✔ 100% foreign ownership
✔ Tax exemptions & profit repatriation
✔ Prime access to ports & airports
✔ Simple licensing & setup processes
However, cargo movement still requires strict customs compliance, including:
Accurate HS code classification
Correct import/export declarations
Adhering to 72-hour cargo arrival rules after declaration

Ensuring goods aren’t opened before customs approval
C4Customs ensures your operations run smoothly without penalties, delays, or inspection issues.
