Packaging activities

Under MD 229 of 2025, ISIC 8292 qualifies only if it constitutes 'Processing' within a manufacturing chain or is ancillary to 'Distribution of goods or materials' from a Designated Zone. If performed as a standalone service for third parties without taking title to the goods, it risks being classified as a non-qualifying service, especially if the recipient is a non-Free Zone Person.
