Is Your Activity Allowed in ASEZA?

Before registering the company, the activity must be defined clearly, and you need to know whether it is straightforward, requires additional approval, or is not suitable for registration in the Zone.

Three categories of business activity

Straightforward activity

A clear commercial or service activity that can usually begin review within the registration path.

Activity requiring a special path or approval

An activity related to health, the environment, customs, food, transport, professional services, or any regulated sector.

Unsuitable or prohibited activity

An activity that is not accepted for registration or requires an entirely different path.

Examples of activities that require a special path

Food and supplements
Cosmetics
Medical devices or supplies
Chemicals or cleaning materials
Storage and warehousing
Customs clearance, shipping, and transport
Professional services
Financial or insurance activities
Tourism and travel
Construction and engineering

Why is “general trading” not enough?

A general description of the activity causes delays in defining the path. It is better to specify what you will sell, store, import, or export, and whether the activity is trading only or also involves storage, distribution, manufacturing, or logistics services.

What we need from you before registration

  • A description of the actual activity
  • The type of goods or services
  • Is there any import or export?
  • Is there any storage?
  • Is there any manufacturing or packaging?
  • Is there a location in Aqaba?
  • Is there a foreign company or foreign partners?

The outcome

  • A clearer formulation of the activity
  • Determining whether it requires an additional path
  • Identifying the closest path: registration, licensing, a foreign company, or import and export
  • Reducing the likelihood of choosing an unsuitable activity
