Some of these goods may have been produced in another country: countries record origin in different ways.

Largest customer: China

Concentration (HHI)

2,177

Concentration index (HHI): 2,177 out of 10,000; equivalent to splitting sales among 5 customers of the same size

137 of the 208 products Oman sells for more than $1 million have a customer buying more than 50% of what Oman sells of that product; in 80, more than 75%. In those products, sales to each one’s dominant customer add up to 45.2% of what Oman sells.

Methodology

The data come from CEPII BACI (Etalab 2.0 licence), which reconciles what the exporting and the importing country report, in current USD, FOB. Data up to 2024.

Dependence is the share of a country’s imports (or exports) that each partner accounts for. It does not measure whether a product has a substitute or how much it would cost to change supplier.

The concentration index (HHI) adds up the square of each partner’s share, in percent: it runs from 0 to 10,000. Its equivalent is 10,000 ÷ HHI, the number of partners of the same size that would give that value.

Products are HS4 headings of the 1992 nomenclature (some combine different goods), with a floor of $1 million per product and country.

The EU is the 27 current members in every year; the United Kingdom is outside the EU throughout the series.
