Yemen is a low-income country on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula that has been severely affected by ongoing conflict since 2015, significantly disrupting trade infrastructure and supply chains. The country's primary exports historically included crude oil, coffee, dried and salted fish, and liquefied natural gas, though production has declined sharply due to the conflict. Humanitarian imports—food, fuel, and medicine—now constitute the bulk of incoming trade, with the port of Hodeidah serving as the critical entry point for the majority of goods.
Key risks include active conflict disrupting port and road access, UN and US sanctions considerations, limited banking and payment infrastructure, and unpredictable customs administration across different controlling authorities.
The port of Hodeidah handles the majority of Yemen's commercial and humanitarian imports, though it has been subject to conflict-related disruptions and UN monitoring mechanisms.
Yes. The US, UN, and EU maintain targeted sanctions against specific individuals and entities associated with the conflict in Yemen; exporters should conduct thorough due diligence and OFAC screening before engaging in transactions.
