Oman to Implement Unified GCC Customs Tariff in Jan 2025
New 12-digit coding system aims to streamline trade and improve customs operations
- Publish date: Saturday، 28 December 2024 Last update: Monday، 14 April 2025
Starting January 1, 2025, Oman will roll out a unified customs tariff system as part of its efforts to enhance trade within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). This initiative is designed to simplify and align customs procedures across all member states, fostering smoother trade relations within the region.
Transition to a 12-Digit System
The updated tariff structure replaces the existing 8-digit coding format with a 12-digit system. This change expands the range of tariff items and aims to provide greater clarity and efficiency in customs operations.
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.
