The U.S.-Jordan Agreement on Reciprocal Trade preserves Jordan’s duty-free access for nearly all U.S. exports and expands cooperation on market access, customs, and supply chain and security matters.
The United States and Jordan signed the U.S.-Jordan Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, turning an earlier announcement into a defined bilateral trade accord and adding detail to how the two countries plan to deepen economic ties. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Jordanian Industry, Trade, and Supply Minister Yarub Qudah signed the deal, which preserves Jordan’s duty-free market access for nearly all U.S. exports. Jordan also committed to strengthen its trade framework by enforcing environmental rules, improving labor protections, enhancing intellectual property rights, promoting fair practices, and streamlining customs procedures. The agreement includes pledges to remove non-tariff barriers and broaden market access for U.S. goods, including agricultural products and motor vehicles. Beyond tariff treatment, the accord ties trade to wider supply chain, economic and security coordination. The two countries said they will work together on investment screening, export controls, combating duty evasion, and countering non-market policies from third countries. The agreement still has no stated link to cryptocurrency, blockchain, stablecoins or tokenized trade finance.
