The smallest stock in JAFZA is around 313 sqm (≈3,370 sqft) for Light Industrial Units. For lockable storage, Cargoz partners offer units from 100 sqft upward in shared facilities. If you need less than 3,000 sqft, Lockable Units or Fixed Areas in adjacent JAFZA-edge facilities are usually a better fit than a whole warehouse.

Yes, JAFZA has dedicated DG (Dangerous Goods) zones with civil defence approvals. We have 6 partner warehouses certified for DG class 3, 4, and 9. Chemical and pharma cargo requires a separate license; your account manager will confirm warehouse-level approvals before booking.

For long-term direct lease, yes. For Cargoz-managed third-party storage, no, you store under our partner warehouse's license as their bonded customer. This is the most common path for SMEs who want JAFZA's port access without the free-zone setup cost.

JAFZA has more cold-storage capacity overall, mostly serving food import and re-export to Africa and the Indian subcontinent. DIP runs cheaper (typically 12 to 18% lower per sqft) but is further from the port. For pharma and HACCP-grade work, JAFZA wins. For domestic FMCG distribution, DIP is usually better value.

One month minimum. No 12-month lock-in. Most Cargoz SMEs in JAFZA start on 1- or 3-month terms and extend monthly. You can scale up, scale down, or exit with 30 days' notice.
