Hamriyah Free Zone Company Setup (Sharjah) 2026: Cost, Warehouses & Industrial Land

Last updated: September 2026. Every Hamriyah Free Zone Authority figure below was checked against HFZA's own published material in September 2026. Anything HFZA does not publish is marked unpublished rather than filled in with an estimate.

Hamriyah Free Zone Authority publishes exactly one price. Its FAQ page gives a basic cost for a licence of AED 11,000, or USD 3,000 [1]. That is the whole of HFZA's public pricing: no fee schedule by licence type, no rate card, no published warehouse rent and no published industrial land lease rate [2][3].

That absence is why this page exists. BusinessDubai.ae read 18 pages ranking for Hamriyah cost and land queries in September 2026. Not one cites a rate traceable to a published HFZA price list, and their advertised figures run from roughly AED 10 to AED 400 per square metre a year, a 40x spread [16].

Since 2013, BusinessDubai.ae has registered companies across every emirate, including Sharjah industrial files. This guide covers licence cost, warehouse sizes, land terms, visa quota, VAT Designated Zone status, the corporate tax verdict by tenant type and the annual filings.

What does a Hamriyah Free Zone licence actually cost in 2026?

Hamriyah Free Zone Authority publishes one figure: a basic licence cost of AED 11,000, or USD 3,000, on its FAQ page [1]. It is not broken down by licence type or package tier, and HFZA states no registration, visa or facility price anywhere else on its site or in its 27 page June 2025 corporate brochure [2].

Read the "not published" rows as the finding, not a gap in the research. Your budget has to come from a written quotation itemising rent, licence, service fee and utilities separately. Our free zone company setup page shows the by-visa-count basis Hamriyah never publishes.

Common Mistake: Treating AED 11,000 as an all-in setup cost. It is a basic licence figure with no stated inclusions, sitting on a facility lease HFZA prices privately, plus an annual licence fee and service fee that arrive separately [1][3]. Ask for all four in one written quotation.

Why does every Hamriyah warehouse quote you see differ?

Because no published Hamriyah warehouse rent exists to anchor them. Of 18 pages BusinessDubai.ae read in September 2026 that rank for Hamriyah cost and land queries, none cites a rate traceable to an HFZA price list, and the advertised figures run from about AED 10 to AED 400 per square metre a year [16].

Every row below is a consultancy's advertised estimate, not HFZA's rate.

A 40x spread is not market variation. It is what happens when a dozen publishers each estimate from a different assumption about size band, fit-out, position in the zone and whether the service fee is included.

Real Talk: If a consultant quotes a Hamriyah warehouse rate over the phone, ask which HFZA document it comes from. There is no right answer, because no such document is public. What you want is a written offer naming the unit, the size in sqm, the annual rent, the AED 3,500 licence fee, the AED 5,000 service fee and the escalation at renewal [3].

What warehouses does HFZA offer, and in what sizes?

Hamriyah Free Zone Authority offers standardised warehouse units of 200, 276, 400 and 600 sqm, in 7 metre and 9 metre heights, with power loads from 20 kW to 150 kW, per its June 2025 corporate brochure [2]. It publishes the sizes and the specification in detail, and no rent.

One correction, because it still circulates. A size set of 276, 307, 416 and 614 sqm appears on HFZA's licence application form, revision 6, hosted since 2020 [4]. The dated June 2025 brochure gives 200, 276, 400 and 600 sqm [2], and where two official documents disagree the dated one wins. Our guides to manufacturing company setup in Dubai and cold storage warehouse costs price the comparable Dubai route.

Pro Tip: Pick the power load before the unit. HFZA's form asks for power in KVA or MW, water in gallons a day and gas in MMscfd, so utilities are scoped per project rather than billed on a published tariff [4]. A 600 sqm unit at 20 kW and the same unit at 150 kW are different products with different lead times.

What terms does HFZA offer on industrial land, and can you buy instead of lease?

Industrial land at Hamriyah Free Zone starts at 2,500 sqm for a general plot and 5,000 sqm for a sea-access Maritime plot, on a 25 year renewable lease with the first five years at a fixed land rate [2][3]. HFZA publishes no rate per square metre anywhere.

A second correction. Many pages state the land floor as 5,000 sqm. The general industrial floor is 2,500 sqm, and 5,000 sqm applies only to plots with direct sea access in the Maritime sector [2]. The confusion traces to the older revision 6 form, which asks for land "in multiples of 5,000 m2" [4]. On a small fabrication yard that is half your land bill.

Then the question HFZA answers one way and the market answers another. HFZA's FAQ says facilities can only be leased, never purchased [1], yet Property Finder and Bayut carry active warehouse for sale listings inside Hamriyah. BusinessDubai.ae could not reconcile the two from published sources and reports both rather than picking one.

Real Talk: The likely explanation for a Hamriyah warehouse listed "for sale" is an assignment of a leasehold interest, not freehold title, because HFZA says it does not sell [1]. That is a guess and we are labelling it as one. Before wiring a deposit, get HFZA to confirm in writing what it will register in your name and for how long.

Quick Math: A 2,500 sqm plot developable to 60% supports roughly 1,500 sqm of covered building, against a largest standardised warehouse of 600 sqm [2]. Above 600 sqm under one roof the warehouse ladder simply ends, and the land route buys a 25 year lease and a build programme instead of a handover date.

What are Hamriyah's seven named industrial zones?

HFZA's own licence application form names seven sub-zones: Oil and Gas, Perfume World, Construction World, Timber Land, Petrochemical, Steel City and Maritime City [4]. No blog format competitor page names them at all, and the form asks you to pick one before it asks anything about your facility.

The brochure separately markets sector parks that do not map onto those seven names: an 11 million square foot Food Park, a Global Logistics Park and an Accelerator Hub for businesses with up to six employees [2]. Your sub-zone decides your neighbours and your environmental approval path: chemical, petroleum and hazardous material tenants go through HFZA's own Engineering, Environment, Health and Safety department, whose fees are unpublished. Our oil and gas trading company setup guide covers the licensing questions.

How many visas does a Hamriyah licence actually carry?

HFZA's June 2025 brochure publishes a fixed visa scale for office packages: a 10 sqm Start Up Business package held by a single shareholder FZE carries 4 visas, rising to 12 visas on a 40 sqm Standard Business office [2]. Warehouse and land tenants get no published number.

No competitor page reproduces this table; most say "up to 50 visas" and stop.

Quota climbs with shareholders as well as area: a 10 sqm office held by five shareholders beats a 16 sqm office held by one.

Common Mistake: Planning a workforce off the "up to 50 visas" line on most Hamriyah pages. HFZA publishes fixed numbers only for offices, topping out at 12 [2]. Put your headcount and accommodation need to HFZA with the facility application and get the allocation confirmed before signing a lease. Our guide to UAE visa quotas in free zones shows how the same rule works elsewhere.

Is Hamriyah a VAT Designated Zone, and what does that change?

Yes. Hamriyah Free Zone is Designated Zone No. 1 under the Emirate of Sharjah in the Annex to Cabinet Decision No. 59 of 2017, effective 1 January 2018 and still listed [6]. The status affects goods only. Services supplied in or from the zone are taxed exactly as they are on the mainland [7].

It is conditional: a zone counts as outside the UAE for VAT only while it is fenced, customs-controlled and secured, keeps internal procedures for storing goods, and while the operator follows Federal Tax Authority procedures [7].

Goods enter, sit and re-export without duty while they stay in the zone [2]. Sharjah Customs takes a deposit of 5% of CIF value plus fees on a re-export, refunded on proof of export [13].

Common Mistake: Reading "Designated Zone" as "no VAT". A Hamriyah company is still UAE resident for VAT, registers above AED 375,000 of taxable supplies and files returns like any mainland business [7][12]. The status moves certain goods transactions outside scope and does nothing for services. Our Designated Zone VAT guide shows which transactions qualify.

Can a Hamriyah company actually reach 0% corporate tax?

Only if your activity is on the closed list of 14 Qualifying Activities in Ministerial Decision No. 229 of 2025. A Hamriyah manufacturer qualifies cleanly. A trader qualifies only on a two part test. A consultancy cannot qualify at all, and its better answer is Small Business Relief [8][11].

Read this before signing a lease: the answer changes with what you do inside the building.

Three conditions sit on top. Non-qualifying revenue must stay under the de minimis cap, the lower of 5% of revenue or AED 5,000,000 [8]. Every Qualifying Free Zone Person is audited regardless of revenue [10]. And the Federal Tax Authority has reserved extra procedures for anyone claiming the distribution activity, unpublished as of September 2026 [10]. Our Qualifying Free Zone Person guide covers substance and the election.

Common Mistake: Two claims that travel together and are both wrong. First, that a free zone licence means 0% corporate tax; 0% applies only to the Qualifying Income of a Qualifying Free Zone Person [8][9]. Second, that any trading business in a Designated Zone qualifies automatically; the distribution limb needs both the import route and the buyer type [8].

Quick Math: A Hamriyah consultancy billing AED 2,400,000 with AED 900,000 of costs shows AED 1,500,000 of profit. No consultancy activity is on the 14 item list, so the ordinary rate applies: nil on the first AED 375,000 and 9% on AED 1,125,000, about AED 101,250 [8][9]. Elect Small Business Relief instead, under AED 3,000,000 of revenue to 31 December 2029, and the bill is nil [11].

Model your tax position→

What has to be filed every year to keep a Hamriyah licence alive?

Corporate tax registration within three months of incorporation, with an AED 10,000 penalty for filing late, the corporate tax return nine months after the period ends, VAT registration above AED 375,000 of taxable supplies, a UBO register kept current, and audited financial statements if you claim Qualifying Free Zone Person status [10][12].

The zone-side calendar runs alongside: trade licence renewal, facility lease renewal, the establishment card and the visa cycle for every employee. HFZA publishes no renewal fee schedule [2], and the Dubai shorthand does not transfer. Year two on a Dubai licence-and-desk package runs near 80% of year one because registration drops away; at Hamriyah rent is the dominant line and rent does not fall [16]. Our post-setup services team runs that calendar so none of it lands during a production run.

Common Mistake: Believing audits start above AED 50,000,000 of revenue. Ministerial Decision No. 84 of 2025 sets two independent triggers: any non-group taxable person above AED 50,000,000, and any Qualifying Free Zone Person at any revenue level [10]. A Hamriyah manufacturer turning over AED 4,000,000 and claiming 0% must still be audited, and a missed audit is itself a condition failure.

Based on our experience: Losing Qualifying Free Zone Person status does not cost one year at 9%. Ministerial Decision No. 229 of 2025 removes it from the start of the breach period and for the following four tax periods, five in total [8]. You revert to an ordinary taxable person, so the AED 375,000 nil band returns [9], but one quarter's de minimis slip shapes five years of tax.

Is Hamriyah cheaper than Sharjah's other free zones?

On a licence only basis, no. BusinessDubai.ae transacts SRTIP at AED 5,510 and SPC Free Zone at AED 5,765 with no visa, against HFZA's stated basic licence cost of AED 11,000 [1][16]. Hamriyah is not competing for desk buyers. It is competing for warehouse and land tenants.

These are BusinessDubai.ae package prices for office and desk products, not warehouse products [16], so the table answers which Sharjah licence is cheapest, not which zone is cheapest for a plant.

If a desk and one visa is all you need, Hamriyah is the wrong product: our business setup in Sharjah and business setup in Ajman pages price the alternatives, our SHAMS free zone guide and cheapest UAE free zones ranking compare them, and our business setup in Abu Dhabi page covers an industrial base nearer the energy contractors.

Free zone or Sharjah mainland for an industrial business?

Choose Hamriyah Free Zone if your goods arrive by sea, sit in the zone and leave again, because Designated Zone status keeps those movements outside UAE VAT [7]. Choose the Sharjah mainland if most of your revenue is domestic sales to UAE end customers, because every release from the zone counts as an import.

Either way the company is registered under rules issued pursuant to Sharjah Emiri Decree No. 6 of 1995, offering four forms: a Free Zone Establishment with exactly one shareholder, a Free Zone Company with up to five, a Branch, and a Subsidiary owned more than 50% by another company [2][5].

Our free zone company setup and mainland company setup pages price each route with year two included, our offshore company formation team can price a holding vehicle above either, and our import and export and logistics company setup guides cover the operating side.

Is Hamriyah versus SAIF Zone the right comparison at all?

Probably not. SAIF Zone's own news page describes the two Sharjah zones as cooperating under shared leadership rather than competing [15]. Both sit on the Federal Tax Authority's Designated Zone list for Sharjah [6], and they sell different products: Hamriyah is port side and land heavy, SAIF Zone is airport side.

Almost every page ranking for "Hamriyah vs SAIF Zone" assumes a rivalry and then fails to compare them [16]. What matters is how your goods move. If cargo arrives in containers and leaves on ships, the 14 metre berth and 7 metre inner harbour are the reason to be at Hamriyah [2]. If goods arrive by air, an airport-side zone is shorter.

How fast can you go from application to operating?

HFZA states it can issue a licence within one hour of receiving a complete file [1]. That is the licence step only. Its own four step process then adds facility handover, security approval and the establishment card, and the immigration sequence of entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and stamping [2].

HFZA publishes no day count for any of those steps [2]. On an industrial file the constraint is facility allocation, which carries a business plan review and, for hazardous processes, a separate environmental approval. Build the buffer around immigration and keep proof of every filing: in November 2018 a system migration at the zone stalled visa issuance and cancellation for roughly a month, and workers reported fines for a status they could not resolve [14].

Who should not choose Hamriyah Free Zone, and what goes wrong?

Anyone who wants a licence plus a desk somewhere else. HFZA's FAQ is explicit that it does not provide an office outside the free zone, so the licensed activity has to operate from Hamriyah itself [1]. If you need a Dubai address, or run a service business with no goods, this is the wrong zone.

Organic chatter about Hamriyah is thin: it is a business to business industrial zone, not a founder-facing one, so there are no review threads to mine and we will not invent any. The one documented case is a company blacklisted over unpaid dues, which blocked its employees from cancelling their visas [16]. HFZA runs on-site labour accommodation in four room configurations, at no published price [2].

Based on our experience: Ask HFZA in writing, before you sign, for the exit sequence and every fee attached: visa cancellation per employee, licence cancellation, establishment card clearance, facility handover condition and tax deregistration. No consolidated exit schedule is published [2]. Negotiate that list while you still hold a signature they want.

Real Client Stories

These are real examples from businesses we have helped set up. Names have been changed for privacy.

Rakesh's steel fabrication move (Hamriyah Free Zone)

Rakesh ran a fabrication shop in Gujarat and wanted a 600 sqm Hamriyah unit to serve Gulf contractors. He arrived with three consultant quotes for the same unit size, the highest more than double the lowest, and asked which was right. None could name an HFZA document behind the number, because none exists. We went back to HFZA for a written offer naming the unit, the rent, the AED 3,500 licence fee and the AED 5,000 service fee separately, and the real figure sat outside all three quotes. His comment: "I nearly signed a lease priced off a blog post."

Martina's engineering consultancy (the wrong zone entirely)

Martina, an Austrian engineer, chose Hamriyah after reading that Designated Zone status meant no VAT and no corporate tax. Her business was inspection services with no goods. Designated Zone treatment does nothing for services, so she registered for VAT at 5% like any mainland firm, and consultancy is absent from the Qualifying Activity list, so 0% was never available. She elected Small Business Relief and paid nil anyway. The deciding issue was different: she could not keep an office in Dubai on an HFZA licence. Martina: "The tax story was wrong and the commute was the real problem."

The distributor who failed on the buyer, not the zone

An Egyptian founder imported consumer appliances through Hamriyah, warehoused them in the zone and sold them online to UAE households. He had been told distribution from a Designated Zone meant 0%, and it does, but only where the buyer resells, processes or alters the goods or is a public benefit entity. Selling to end consumers failed that limb entirely. He restructured to sell through UAE retailers, which fitted both the activity and his working capital better. His remark: "The zone was right. The customer was what disqualified me."

Start your Hamriyah setup on real numbers

Three decisions carry this one, and only the first looks like a price. What facility you need, because the warehouse ladder stops at 600 sqm and everything larger is a 25 year land lease [2]. What you do inside it, because manufacturing and processing qualify for 0% cleanly, distribution qualifies only on a two part test, and services never qualify [8]. And what the lease actually costs, which no published source can tell you [1].

BusinessDubai.ae has completed 700+ company registrations across the UAE, including Sharjah industrial files, with itemised pricing and no hidden fees. We will put a free zone company setup at Hamriyah beside a mainland company setup on what differs for a goods business: customs, VAT on movements, visa quota and domestic sales. Our post-setup services team then carries the renewal, audit and visa calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to set up a company in Hamriyah Free Zone?

HFZA publishes a basic licence cost of AED 11,000, or USD 3,000, and nothing else: no breakdown by licence type and no facility rent. An all-in 2026 figure needs a written quotation.

What is the warehouse rent in Hamriyah Free Zone?

HFZA does not publish one. The June 2025 brochure gives sizes and power loads but calls rent only "competitive lease rates". Advertised third-party figures run from about AED 10 to AED 400 per sqm a year.

What is the industrial land price per square metre in Hamriyah?

No rate is published anywhere by HFZA. What is published is the 2,500 sqm plot floor, a 25 year renewable lease and a fixed land rate for the first five years.

What warehouse sizes does Hamriyah Free Zone offer?

Units of 200, 276, 400 and 600 sqm per the June 2025 brochure, in 7 and 9 metre heights with power loads from 20 kW to 150 kW.

What is the minimum plot size for industrial land in Hamriyah?

2,500 sqm for a general industrial plot, and 5,000 sqm for plots with direct sea access in the Maritime sector. The repeated 5,000 sqm minimum applies to sea-access plots only.

Can I buy a warehouse in Hamriyah Free Zone, or only lease?

HFZA's FAQ states facilities can only be leased, never purchased, with land on a 25 year renewable lease. Property portals nonetheless carry warehouse for sale listings inside the zone.

Is Hamriyah Free Zone a VAT Designated Zone?

Yes, Designated Zone No. 1 under the Emirate of Sharjah in the Annex to Cabinet Decision No. 59 of 2017, effective 1 January 2018. The 2021 amendments changed only Dubai zones.

Does Designated Zone status mean my Hamriyah company pays no VAT?

No. The status affects certain goods transactions only. Services in or from the zone are taxed at 5%, and the company still registers above AED 375,000 and files normally.

What happens to VAT when I move goods from Hamriyah to the mainland?

That movement is treated as an import and import VAT is payable by the importer. Where VAT was already charged on the same goods inside the zone, it is recoverable in full.

Does a Hamriyah manufacturer get 0% corporate tax?

Yes, on qualifying income, if it meets the Qualifying Free Zone Person conditions. Ministerial Decision No. 229 of 2025 lists manufacturing and processing of goods or materials as Qualifying Activities.

Does a trading company in Hamriyah get 0% corporate tax?

Only on a two part test. Distribution from a Designated Zone qualifies where goods enter the UAE through the zone and the buyer resells, processes or alters them, or is a public benefit entity.

Can a consultancy in Hamriyah get 0% corporate tax?

No. Consultancy and general services appear nowhere in the closed list of 14 Qualifying Activities. Under AED 3,000,000 of revenue it can elect Small Business Relief instead, to 31 December 2029.

Can a Qualifying Free Zone Person claim Small Business Relief?

No. The Federal Tax Authority's guide states the relief is not available to Qualifying Free Zone Persons, because they already benefit from 0% on qualifying income.

What happens if I lose Qualifying Free Zone Person status?

You lose it from the start of the breach period and for the following four tax periods, five in total. You then pay the ordinary rate, with 0% on the first AED 375,000.

Does a small Hamriyah company need audited financial statements?

If it claims Qualifying Free Zone Person status, yes, at any revenue level. Ministerial Decision No. 84 of 2025 sets two triggers: AED 50,000,000 of revenue, or QFZP status.

How many visas can a Hamriyah Free Zone company get?

For office packages HFZA publishes a fixed scale: 1 visa for an FZE with no office, 4 on a 10 sqm package, and up to 12 on a 40 sqm office.

What legal forms can I register at Hamriyah?

Four: a Free Zone Establishment with exactly one shareholder, a Free Zone Company with up to five, a Branch, and a Subsidiary owned more than 50% by another company.

What is the minimum share capital for a Hamriyah FZE?

HFZA's Implementing Rules state shares are issued in units of AED 1,000 or multiples and may be paid in cash or in kind. They state no minimum total.

Can HFZA really issue a licence in one hour?

HFZA states it can, once all required documentation is submitted. That is the licence issuance step alone; facility allocation, security approval, the establishment card and visas follow, with no published day count.

What are the seven zones inside Hamriyah Free Zone?

HFZA's licence application form names Oil and Gas, Perfume World, Construction World, Timber Land, Petrochemical, Steel City and Maritime City. The brochure separately markets a Food Park and a Global Logistics Park.

Does Hamriyah offer accommodation for workers?

Yes. HFZA operates on-site labour accommodation in four configurations: single rooms for four, six or eight people and a double room for twelve. No price is published.

Is Hamriyah cheaper than SHAMS or SPC Free Zone?

Not on a licence basis. SRTIP is AED 5,510, SPC AED 5,765 and SHAMS AED 6,885 licence only with no visa, against HFZA's stated AED 11,000.

What is the difference between Hamriyah Free Zone and SAIF Zone?

Product, mainly. Hamriyah is port side with a 14 metre berth and a large industrial land bank; SAIF Zone sits beside Sharjah International Airport. Both are Sharjah Designated Zones.

What happens if I do not pay my Hamriyah Free Zone dues?

Unpaid balances can get a company blacklisted at the zone, and blacklisting has blocked employees from cancelling their residence visas. Clear every balance before closing a licence.

Can a Hamriyah company sell directly to mainland UAE customers?

Not from the zone itself. Domestic sales run through a mainland distributor or branch, and goods leaving the zone are treated as an import with import VAT due.

Does Hamriyah publish a licence renewal fee?

No. BusinessDubai.ae checked HFZA's FAQ, setup, infrastructure, downloads and forms pages and the June 2025 brochure and found no renewal schedule or figure.
