Industry Minister: Duty exemption boosts clothing competitiveness
The Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply, Eng. Y Arabs Al-Qudah, confirmed that exempting Jordanian clothing and textiles exports from American customs duties entirely and allowing their entry into the U.S. market with zero tariffs grants them an unprecedented competitive advantage and represents a significant leap forward for the national economy. This move follows the signing of a mutual trade agreement with the United States, which allows for tariff reductions to 10% and offers full exemption for certain products. This enhances the sector’s export capacity, attracts new investments, and increases job opportunities, especially given that clothing and textiles are among Jordan’s top exports to America, surpassing 431 million Jordanian dinars in the first quarter of the year. The government affirms that these facilitations will contribute to boosting economic growth and strengthening Jordan’s position as a regional industrial and investment hub.
