The Business Case for Jebel Ali Free Zone Storage
The Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) has long been considered one of the world's premier logistics hubs. For GCC importers, it offers a unique combination of geographic centrality, infrastructure quality, and favourable regulatory conditions.
Why JAFZA Works
Goods stored in JAFZA are not subject to UAE import duties until they enter the domestic market — making it an ideal staging point for regional distribution across the GCC.
