Hamriyah Free Zone sits on Sharjah's port and licenses warehousing, light manufacturing, packaging and industrial trade — space at a cost the Dubai industrial zones rarely match. We file the licence, run KYC and handle the visa.
Hamriyah is Sharjah's industrial port zone: units, plots and port access at a cost that keeps a physical operation viable.
The zone sits on Sharjah's port, which shortens the distance between the facility and the vessel.
Industrial premises in Sharjah generally price below the Dubai equivalents, which matters when margins are thin.
Warehouses, plots and offices sit under one authority, so an operation can grow without moving jurisdiction.
Premises-led licences carry higher staff allocations than a desk package, which matters for operational teams.
Full foreign ownership with no local partner requirement, as across the UAE free zones.
Qualifying Free Zone Person status keeps corporate tax at 0% on qualifying income when the structure and activity support it.
Hamriyah issues trading, service and industrial licences with premises from offices through to warehouse units and plots. The premises decision drives the licence category and the visa allocation, and banking from a Sharjah address takes more preparation.
Hamriyah suits industrial and stock-holding businesses that need real space at a Sharjah cost, and whose customers care about the goods rather than the address.
Warehouse units and open storage for stock-holding businesses.
Assembly, processing and light manufacturing in units and on plots.
Packaging, repacking and finishing operations attached to a trade flow.
Import, export and re-export tied to a facility in the zone.

Sonsoto quoted us a line-item budget for the licence, visas and the bank pack up front. Nothing crept in later. That alone was worth the fee.
I’d already been rejected by two banks. Sonsoto told me why, changed the pack, and we opened with WIO in three weeks. Straight answers, no theatre.
They caught a corporate-tax filing we were about to miss and re-scoped the renewals so we stopped paying twice for the same work. Now they run everything.
We’d spoken to four firms and got four different price sheets. Sonsoto was the only one that showed us where the extras came from — and we didn’t need them.
Golden Visa done, family visas done, licence renewed. Same team, same WhatsApp thread. I don’t chase PRO agents anymore.
They told me RAK was a better fit than Dubai for our margin. I’d already paid a deposit somewhere else. They still refunded my Sonsoto retainer and helped me exit.
