About UAQ Free Trade Zone

Low-cost trading licences on the Emirates Road corridor.

UAQ Free Trade Zone lies within the emirate of Umm Al Quwain, UAE. Dutch & Habro appoints one FMCG partner per territory here, carrying the complete range — pest control, rodent control, hygiene, air care, home care, garden care and shoe care — on a single distribution agreement.

What drives demand in UAQ Free Trade Zone?

UAQ Free Trade Zone shares the climate of the UAE: a long, hot summer with sealed, air-conditioned interiors that keep indoor insect pressure running all year rather than peaking for a season.

Because UAQ Free Trade Zone is a free zone, the mix skews toward bulk and re-export packs, warehouse pest control and industrial hygiene. Getting that weighting right at the opening order matters more here than the size of the order itself.

  • Bulk and re-export packs
  • Warehouse pest control
  • Industrial hygiene

Which pest control products sell in UAQ Free Trade Zone?

Of the seven categories on the agreement, pest control moves the most units in UAQ Free Trade Zone, concentrated in rodent glue boards, bait stations and bulk crawling-insect aerosols.

Goodbye covers the household insecticide lines and Podo the dedicated rodent-control systems; both sell into bonded wholesale and re-export in UAQ Free Trade Zone under the same distribution agreement as the hygiene, air care, home care, garden care and shoe care brands.

  • Rodent glue boards
  • Bait stations
  • Bulk crawling-insect aerosols
  • Insecticidal powder and dust

Which channels carry volume in UAQ Free Trade Zone?

How stock reaches UAQ Free Trade Zone
