As of April 2026, the United States imported $119K/month and exported $254K/month with Central African Republic. This page covers Central African Republic's customs status, applicable trade agreements, and the practical tariff treatment U.S. importers and exporters should expect.
Trade overview
The Central African Republic (CAR) is among the world's least-developed economies, and its US trade footprint is correspondingly narrow, concentrated in diamonds, timber, and select agricultural raw materials. CAR diamonds are subject to Kimberley Process Certification Scheme requirements, and importers must ensure that rough diamond shipments are accompanied by a valid KP certificate to comply with US import law. Ongoing internal conflict and limited infrastructure make supply continuity a persistent concern for any sourcing relationship.
