AmCham Oman's Trade & Investment Department helps Omani companies export to, import from, and build lasting partnerships in the United States, the world's largest consumer market, under the U.S.–Oman Free Trade Agreement.
Why the U.S. Market?
The World's Largest Market
A $30 trillion economy and 340 million consumers, with the highest household spending of any country in the world.
FTA Reciprocity
Just as U.S. firms can fully own a business in Oman, Omani companies can own 100% of a business in the United States.
Established Trading Relationship
Bilateral goods trade totaled $3.3 billion in 2025, and Omani investment in the U.S. now exceeds $1 billion.

FTA Origin & Compliance Audit (Paid Service)

DETAILS — This Includes:
| A review of your product's appraised value against the FTA's 35% appraised-value (substantial transformation) test: the sum of the value of originating materials plus direct processing costs, as a share of appraised value. |
| Line-item analysis of qualifying and non-qualifying materials and processing costs. |
| Calculation and documentation of your product's origin status against the 35% threshold. |
