Free zone or mainland
- IFZA lists this activity; Ajman Free Zone does not carry it under the same name, so confirm the Ajman catalogue before switching lanes.
- Dubai mainland under DET licenses onshore operation, but it expects Ejari-registered premises and runs longer than a free-zone desk package. A free-zone company reaches mainland clients through a distributor, DET's free-zone operating permit or branch, or a mainland licence; the activity and where the work is performed decide which.
What the authority says
Includes reselling utility lighting poles made of metal, concrete or wood for roads, streets and parks lighting.
