Most hazardous chemicals need a permit from Oman's Environment Authority before they are imported, following GCC arrangements for pre-clearance of hazardous substances. APIs and other pharmaceutical ingredients are supervised by the Drug Safety Center at the Ministry of Health, so confirm that the importer holds the necessary approval. The India–Oman CEPA has been signed, but until it enters into force normal MFN duties apply, and no preferential certificate can yet be used. Dangerous goods must be packed and declared under IMDG or IATA rules. Free-zone consignees in Sohar, Duqm or Salalah should be named clearly on all documents.
