Oman is an Arab country located in the Persian Gulf, thus maintaining a strategic position in terms of international trade. During 2017 its imports reached almost 30 billion US dollars.
Like other Arab countries, one of its main exports is oil and its derivatives, assuming 70% of the total value in shipping. Regarding imports, we find greater diversity, since it is a country with a strong demand for products from abroad. We uncover everything from cars and aeronautical equipment to gold or other metals.
Its leading trading partner is China, followed by India and Japan. It also maintains a remarkable business relationship with the United States and Spain.
To send your cargo to Oman, you should consider whether you need a full container (FCL) or a shared container (LCL or groupage).
The first of the options will be advisable for loads to 6 pallets, and also when the merchandise sent can be damaged by sharing space with third party shipments. The containers will be 20 feet or 40, depending on the needs of the shipper.
In case you need less volume for your cargo, you can hire a shared container shipment, paying only the fixed price for the corresponding space within the container.
