The Hamriyah Free Zone was established under Sharjah Emiri Decree No. 6/1995 issued in 12 November 1995 as amended by Sharjah Executive Council Decision No. 1/2000 (the Decree).

The principle regulation governing all operations within HFZA is the Implementing Rules and Regulations issued by the Hamriyah Free Zone Authority (HFZA) under the Decree.

HFZA has not signed any reciprocal arrangements with other freezones which have been confirmed. Reciprocal arrangements between free zones often get underway to facilitate cooperation on various matters. For instance, reciprocal arrangements may have been entered for the exemption of customs duties on goods transferred reciprocally, or any other benefits.
