United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement

The United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement entered into force in 2009.

The United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will:

1. Eliminate tariffs
2. Promote Foreign Direct Investment
3. Remove other Technical Barriers to Trade

Tariff reductions and  enhanced market access that the United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement provides have the potential to make the United States export products more competitive with those from the United Arab Emirates and other countries of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf.

The United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement will provide new market access for the United States consumer, industrial, and agricultural export products.

While the Sultanate of Oman is a moderately small market for the United States Products and services owing to its small population, the Sultanate of Oman is ideally situated to serve as platform from which to enter other regional markets (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates).
