Exports to Oman have increased significantly in recent years. Oman is a country with good access to open waters and is very suitable for trade and exports. Iran, as one of the neighboring countries and with good port facilities, is able to export a variety of products to Oman. Given the diversity of natural resources and industrial production in Iran, various products, including agricultural products, minerals and industrial products, are exported to Oman. For example, agricultural products include fruits, vegetables, grains and livestock products that are exported to Oman. In addition, Iran is also strong in the production of industrial products and exports products such as steel, petrochemicals, automobiles, electronics and industrial machinery to Oman.

Export methods to Oman
Exports to Oman are carried out through various methods. Some Iranian companies and traders cooperate directly with Omani companies and traders and export their products directly to Oman. Some Iranian traders also export their goods to Oman through intermediaries with other countries, such as the United Arab Emirates. But unfortunately, in some cases, Iranian traders and companies face problems in exporting to Oman . Some of the problems include issues related to congestion of transportation routes, trade and financial restrictions, customs issues, and problems related to delivering goods to the final destination. In any case, exporting to Oman is profitable for Iranian traders, and many traders are willing to be present in this market. We hope that the officials and authorities of the two countries will work to solve the problems and facilitate exports to Oman so that trade between the two countries can increase.
The importance of exporting to Oman
Exports to Oman have an important impact on bilateral relations. These exports can help strengthen economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. As two neighboring countries with close geographical locations, Iran and Oman have the potential to establish strong trade relations. Iranian exports to Oman can help increase trade exchanges, create jobs, and increase incomes of the two countries. These exports can also strengthen political and cultural relations between the two countries. However, to be successful in exporting to Oman, Iranian companies and businessmen must be familiar with the challenges and competition in this market and choose appropriate strategies to enter this market.
Iran’s export statistics to Oman
According to statistics published by Iranian Customs , Iran’s exports to Oman in 1401 increased by 52 percent compared to 1400. Iran’s exports to Oman in 1401 were 3 billion 342 million 697 thousand 849 kilograms in weight and 1.087 billion dollars in value. At the same time, Iran’s imports from Oman in 1401 showed a 29 percent increase compared to 1400. Iran’s imports from Oman in 1401 were 942 million 202 thousand 458 kilograms in weight and 800 million dollars in value. In total, the volume of trade between Iran and Oman in 1401 increased by 41 percent compared to 1400 and was 1.887 billion dollars.
Iran’s largest exports to Oman include petroleum, non-alloy iron and steel ingots, and semi-finished products of non-alloy iron or steel. These goods are considered the top three items of export to Oman. Also, uncompressed coal, transgenic soybeans, and palm oil are other products imported from Oman.
Trade barriers between Iran and Oman
Trade barriers between Iran and Oman include sanctions and monetary and banking barriers that apply to all countries. These barriers pose challenges in expanding Iran’s trade with Oman and other countries. However, it seems that some of the problems between the two countries can be resolved in order to expand trade relations. At the Iran-Oman Trade Conference, the head of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce announced that in the field of trade cooperation and commodity exchanges, there are numerous areas for exporting goods from Iran and Oman, as well as supplying some items needed by the Iranian market through Oman.
For long-term and sustainable planning of economic relations, joint investments in the two countries should be pursued. Developing transit and port cooperation and utilizing the capacity and benefits of the free zones of the two countries continue to receive serious attention as necessary infrastructure for the development of private sector activities.
