Trade overview
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.
