Part of a GCC Wide Collaboration
The new system reflects ongoing cooperation between GCC nations and their partnerships with the business community. By adopting this unified approach, Oman seeks to make trade processes more transparent and accessible for businesses operating within the region.
Key Details for Businesses
Beneficiaries of customs services are advised to familiarize themselves with the updated tariff system. Comprehensive details are available on the official website of the Directorate General of Customs.
This move underscores Oman’s commitment to modernizing its trade practices and strengthening economic ties within the GCC.
