The Marshall Islands operates one of the world's largest open-ship registries, which shapes its commercial relationship with the United States more through maritime services than through physical goods exports. Merchandise trade flows from the Marshall Islands to the US are limited, with fish and seafood among the most plausible commodity categories given the country's extensive exclusive economic zone. The Compact of Free Association between the Marshall Islands and the United States creates a unique political and economic relationship that trade professionals should factor into origin and eligibility determinations.

The Compact of Free Association establishes a close political and economic relationship, but it does not function as a conventional free trade agreement with automatic tariff preferences for goods. Trade professionals should verify the current tariff treatment applicable to specific commodities rather than assuming preferential rates apply.
Seafood from the Marshall Islands is subject to FDA admissibility review, including prior notice filing and HACCP documentation from the processing facility. Importers should confirm that any foreign processing establishment is listed on the FDA's approved facility database before arranging shipment.
