Since 1 June 2026, almost every Indian export enters Oman duty-free. Before the agreement, only about 15% of Indian exports did.

What changes

What exporters get
from this agreement.

Oman gives zero duty on 98.08% of its tariff lines, covering 99.38% of India's exports by value, from the first day.

All engineering products now enter at zero duty, replacing duties of up to 5%.

Lower duty is not automatic: every shipment needs proof that the goods originate in India.

Before you ship

Lower duty needs
proof of origin.

Your buyer pays the lower duty only when the shipment proves where it was made. Four steps, done once per product.

01

Find your HS code

Look up the tariff line for your product and its duty in the Oman schedule under the agreement.

02

Check the origin rule

Each product has a rule of origin, such as a change of tariff heading or a minimum local value. Confirm your goods meet it.

03

Get the certificate of origin

Apply for a preferential certificate of origin for India–Oman CEPA on the DGFT certificate of origin platform before you ship.

04

Keep your records

Your buyer claims the lower duty at import with the certificate. Keep production and cost records in case of an origin check.

Whether a product qualifies depends on its tariff line and rule of origin. Confirm with your customs broker before you quote a duty-free price.

Find the buyers

A trade deal helps
only with the right buyer.

Tell GloballSeller what you make and choose Oman as your market. It suggests the cities and buyer industries where your product is used, checks every company against your product, and shows the proof from its own website and the person to contact.

Every market it suggests shows whether your country has a trade agreement there, whether it is in force, and when an upcoming one starts, worked out for your own country rather than one fixed view.
