Industry and mining services: from your factory idea to the right licence

An entrepreneur’s guide to industrial licensing, amendments, renewal, certificates of origin, exemptions and chemical clearance, and how these differ from mining licences.

Start with your goal: establishing a factory, developing an existing facility, exporting a product or pursuing a mining project. The goal determines the service; this guide helps you identify the next step.

Sources reviewed:

Short answer

Industrial services concern your factory and its products; mining licences cover mineral exploration and exploitation according to licence type. Identify your goal and project stage, then choose the matching procedure.

Is your project industrial or mining-related?

Manufacturing products in a factory starts with industrial services. Exploring for minerals or extracting materials from a site follows a mining-licence pathway on Taadeen. Choose by activity and intended outcome, not merely by the shared Ministry name.

Review the official source ↗

A new industrial project or an existing factory?

For a new project, review industrial-licence issuance and the project stage. For an existing factory, distinguish renewal, amendment, ownership transfer and factory-data updates. An issuance request does not automatically cover every later procedure.

Review the official source ↗

What should you check for an ownership transfer?

Check the new owner’s capacity and supporting transfer documents. The Ministry service card identifies registration, premises, environmental and other case-specific requirements; this is not simply a name change on a form.

Review the official source ↗

When do you need a certificate of origin?

For proof of national product origin for export, review the certificate-of-origin system and the appropriate industrial, commercial or individual registration route. The certificate differs from a factory licence; match the product, shipment and exporter details.

Review the official source ↗

What is an industrial customs exemption?

This concerns exemption applications for eligible industrial inputs, machinery or spare parts. Having a factory does not exempt every shipment. Review the licence, materials and tariff items; neither approval nor coverage of all imports should be assumed.

Review the official source ↗

Chemicals: clearance or an import permit?

The Ministry identifies two Senaei routes: import clearance for non-restricted chemicals and import permits for restricted chemicals. Establish the substance and classification before choosing. A name alone does not establish import permission or guarantee approval.

Review the official source ↗

Exploration is not an exploitation licence

An exploration licence concerns specified minerals in a defined area. Taadeen lists technical and financial capability and work-programme requirements. Do not treat it as automatic permission for commercial extraction and sale.

Review the official source ↗

Do you mean a building-materials quarry?

Taadeen calls this a building materials licence for specified Category C minerals. Site, studies, environmental and rehabilitation plans matter. It differs from a property building permit or a licence for a factory manufacturing building products.

How can Yusr help?

Choose the matching service below and describe the project stage, work already done and any existing reference. We help organise, prepare and follow up the agreed request. Do not assume a general application service includes technical studies, surveys or specialist reports.

How should you read prices and timing?

The prices below load from the current service catalogue, not a copied Ministry tariff. Review the included scope and any additional official charge or SADAD invoice before settlement. Requirements and charges may vary by activity and case. Preparation time is not a promised authority approval date.

What to prepare

  • Record the activity, product or mineral type and current project stage.
  • Have the establishment name, applicant capacity and any existing licence or application reference ready.
  • Distinguish a new request from amendment, renewal or ownership transfer; avoid duplicate applications.
  • Review scope, price and any specialist approvals before confirming.

Watch out for

  • Registration on a government platform does not mean a licence or all approvals have been issued.
  • Do not assume application assistance includes technical studies or other approvals.
  • Never share a password or verification code; use the available official authorisation route.

Common questions

I have an existing factory. Should I request a new licence?

Start with the licence status and required action. You may need amendment, renewal or ownership transfer rather than new issuance. Include the existing reference.

Does a customs exemption cover every import?

No blanket coverage should be assumed. Check the item, licence and official decision scope. Application does not mean approval.

How does a factory licence differ from a building materials licence?

A factory licence concerns industrial activity; a building materials licence is a mining route for specified minerals. Choose by actual activity, not a similar product name.

Should I send company documents in chat?

Start with a general description without sensitive details. Provide necessary documents through the designated request channel when needed; never send passwords or verification codes.

Can every route described here be ordered from Yusr now?

Only currently available Yusr services appear below. Describing an official route does not mean a paid service or price has been approved for it. Do not order a different card merely because it has the same authority.

Service scope and current prices

These amounts come from the current Yusr catalogue, not an invented government tariff. Review the scope and final total in the service form before confirming.
