Kuwait is a high-income Gulf state whose economy is dominated by petroleum exports, which account for the vast majority of government revenue and export earnings. As a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Kuwait applies the GCC Common External Tariff, generally set at 5% on most imported goods. The country is a significant importer of machinery, vehicles, food products, and construction materials, with the US, China, and EU nations among its top trading partners.
