Trade overview
The United Arab Emirates is one of the Middle East's most open and diversified trading economies, serving as a major global re-export and logistics hub through ports such as Jebel Ali. As a GCC member, the UAE applies the 5% Common External Tariff, and its numerous free trade zones—including Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA)—offer 100% foreign ownership and customs duty exemptions. The UAE has recently concluded new Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs) with India, Israel, and other nations to expand bilateral trade.
