Posted by Timothy Miller on 7/28/26, 5:00 PM

In a press release published on July 21, 2026, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) announced the signing of a reciprocal trade agreement with Jordan.

The U.S.-Jordan Agreement on Reciprocal Trade’s key provisions include:

  • Jordan will provide duty-free access to almost all U.S. goods and remove non-tariff trade barriers.
  • Jordan has committed to enforce environmental laws, protect labor laws, ban goods made by forced labor, increase intellectual property protection, and improve customs procedures.
  • Jordan will cooperate with the United States in restricting transactions involving individuals and entities on the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Entity List.
  • Jordan will allow and facilitate U.S. investment on terms “no less favorable than it accords its own investors.”

The agreement will enter into force 60 days after both parties have notified each other that their respective internal procedures have been completed.
