Industrial and manufacturing companies must possess an industrial license as a requirement.
For industrial and manufacturing enterprises in Dubai, possessing an industrial license is imperative to carry out operations smoothly. Issuance of industrial trade licenses is overseen by the Department of Economic Development. However, compulsory approbations from the Finance and Industry Ministry and requisites from other jurisdictions must be obtained. A UAE industrial license is valid for a stipulated duration, contingent on adherence to the stated conditions upon issuance.
Organizations that transform natural resources or raw materials into new, semi-finished, or fully finished products are eligible for a Dubai Industrial Trade License. This license is granted for operations that involve altering the physical structure or appearance of materials.
