Is every Freezones a Designated Zone ?

A Freezone is not automatically a designated zone. A Designated Zone must be approved by the FTA and appointed with a Warehouse Keeper and may include a fenced freezone or another approved area. A Designated Zone can be identified by requesting its Designated Zone reference number.

Benefits of Designated Zone

  • The excise goods imported, produced, or preserved in a Designated Zone and exported from Designated Zone will be treated as not released for consumption in the UAE and can take the benefit of tax suspension
  • Transfer of the goods within the designated zone will not attract the excise tax as it is not considered to be released for consumption
  • Excise tax can be deferred if excise goods are imported, produce, or stored within a designated zone until those goods are released for consumption in the UAE.
