UAE free zone trading licences start at AED 5,555/yr (AFZA) and range up to AED 15,000+ (HFZA warehouse packages). Every UAE import or export through a port, airport or land border requires a separate Federal Customs Authority (FCA) customs code — distinct from your trade licence.

Renewing a UAE free zone licence costs AED 5,000–18,000+ depending on zone and package. Zone-by-zone cost table, full document checklist, and the exact mistakes that delay most renewals in 2026.
