Things you should know before starting an e-commerce business in UAE Free ZoneA Story by SonamBefore setting up an e-commerce business in UAE free zones, the following factors should be considered:In the Free Zone Authority of the
respective free zones, the governing body issues business licenses to the
e-commerce companies. After obtaining an e-commerce license, entrepreneurs have
access to an online platform for buying and selling products. Before setting
up an e-commerce business in UAE free zones, the following factors should be considered:
1. Selling the product
Firms are not allowed to sell goods
directly to consumers in free zones. Businesses have agreed with manufacturers
whose interests are already in the market. Companies in the free zone will list
such items for sale on their websites for customers to buy. A local distributor
or agent is not required under the free zone e-commerce license as they sell
the goods of the suppliers.
2. Requirements for the warehouse
The e-commerce license is obtained
through a Flexi desk facility in the free zone, so there is no need for a
godown or office room. If the company is in the business of selling consumer
goods, the manufacturers with whom it has agreements will store them. Because a
warehouse is not required, the operating cost for an e-commerce license will be
less.
3. Customs Duty & Product
Registration
Municipalities and health authorities
are not liable for items reported to the relevant local authorities. Companies
must already deal with licensed products, and product registration is handled
by the retailer. Similarly, the manufacturer pays customs duty, and e-commerce
business is exempted from paying 5% customs duty.
