The UAE, particularly Dubai, is a major global transshipment hub. Controlled U.S.-origin goods have historically been re-exported from the UAE to sanctioned countries such as Iran. Exporters must conduct thorough end-use and end-user screening and include re-export restrictions in sales agreements.
Top U.S. exports to the UAE include aircraft and aerospace equipment, machinery, vehicles, precious metals and stones, defense systems, and food products.
No bilateral FTA is currently in force between the U.S. and the UAE, though negotiations have been discussed. The UAE applies GCC common external tariff rates, generally 5% on most goods, with free zones offering additional duty advantages for re-export trade.
