Import from Oman to Iran is one of the important elements of international trade, which is influential in various economic areas of Iran. Despite the relatively small geographical distance between these two countries, exports and imports from and to Oman and Iran are of particular importance due to the common commercial history and geographical proximity between these two countries. Having ports and various products in the field of oil and gas, mines, food industry and other industries, Oman is known as one of the important supply sources for Iran. On the other hand, Iran is considered as one of Oman’s main export destinations with its large consumer market and diverse needs in industrial, agricultural, and other industries.

Trade between Iran and Oman has a long history and is of particular importance. These two countries, with their common commercial history and geographical proximity, have always played an important role in trade exchanges with each other. Having important ports such as Muscat Port and Sahara Port, as well as rich oil and gas resources, Oman is known as one of the main sources of energy and industrial products for Iran. On the other hand, Iran, having a large domestic market and diverse needs in industrial, agricultural, and other industries, is considered as one of Oman’s main export destinations. Promoting commercial cooperation and developing business relations between Iran and Oman can help the commercial and economic prosperity of both countries. These measures include increasing trade exchanges, facilitating financial exchanges, developing bilateral trade agreements, and creating favorable conditions for joint ventures.

The volume of trade between Iran and Oman reached two billion dollars in 1401, which shows that achieving a trade capacity of three billion dollars is quite conceivable and achievable. Hence, it is possible to plan even to reach the goal of five billion dollars.

Among Arab countries, Oman has always enjoyed very positive and stable relations with Iran. These relations, which have flourished for a long time, were especially confirmed and expressed hope by the head of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce. He emphasized that achieving a trade volume of three billion dollars with Oman is a completely attainable goal and nothing is out of reach.

Last year, coal under the category of “other coal, not compressed, not mentioned elsewhere”, was placed as the first item in the list of goods imported from Oman to Iran. This product, with a tariff key, attracted more than 188 million dollars of Iranian businessmen’s investments and, in general, compared to other goods, it included 23.5% of Iran’s total imports from Oman.

After coal, some basic goods and raw materials needed by the agricultural sector were added to the table of Oman’s imports to Iran. If we examine this category of products, this category of products itself ranks first among all imported products to Iran. However, the second place goes to transgenic soybeans with $162 million and a 20.26 percent share, the third place goes to palm oil with $56 million and a 7.05 percent share, and the fourth place goes to livestock corn with $53 million and a 6.69 percent share of Oman’s total imports to Iran.

According to the United Nations International Trade Database, Oman’s exports to Iran in 2022 were equal to 539.35 million US dollars. The information, historical chart and statistics of Oman’s exports to Iran have been updated in the last update on February 2024.
