India–Oman shipping predates most modern trade agreements — port familiarity on both sides cuts delays that trip up newer lanes.

A re-export hub as much as a destination — goods landed at Sohar or Salalah often move on to East Africa and the wider Gulf under one consignment.

Why Oman buyers source here
Re-export ready
Consolidations arranged for onward movement to East Africa and the wider Gulf, not just Omani end-use — one B/L, one plan.
