Oman to implement unified GCC customs tariff in January 2025

Dubai: Starting January 1, 2025, Oman will implement a unified customs tariff as part of its efforts to enhance trade within the GCC. This initiative is designed to streamline customs procedures across all GCC member states.

The new tariff system will adopt a 12-digit coding format, replacing the previous 8-digit system.

As part of the ongoing collaboration within the GCC and its partnership with the business community, the updated tariff system introduces several significant changes. With the expansion of tariff items from 8 to 12 digits, the aim is to facilitate smoother trade and improve clarity in customs operations.

Customs service beneficiaries are encouraged to review the details of this new tariff system, which can be accessed on the official website of the Directorate General of Customs. (https://customs.gov.om/media/idwfzthg/tarfah.pdf).
