Agricultural Equipment

• Trade and Tariffs
• Tariff Elimination

Trade and Tariffs

This sector is defined by the Uruguay Round sector initiative on agricultural equipment.

Oman imported approximately $750,000 worth of agricultural equipment products in 2003 from the United States. This accounted for approximately two-tenths of a percent (0.02%) of total non-textile imports into Oman from the United States.

Oman applies a 5 percent tariff on all imports of agriculture equipment.

The United States did not import any agriculture equipment from Oman in 2003. The United States applies no duty on the import of agriculture equipment products.

Tariff Elimination

The U.S.-Oman FTA will eliminate all industrial tariffs in the United States and Oman within 10 years of implementation. Tariffs will be phased out according to three tariff elimination categories: 1) immediate elimination, 2) equal cuts over 5 years, and 3) equal cuts over 10 years.

Oman will provide for immediate duty free treatment for all agriculture equipment imports from the United States immediately upon implementation of the agreement.
