Singapore-Jordan Free Trade Agreement (SJFTA)
The Singapore-Jordan Free Trade Agreement (SJFTA) strengthens trade and investment between Singapore and Jordan by improving market access and facilitating bilateral trade.
About the Singapore-Jordan Free Trade Agreement (SJFTA)
The SJFTA, which entered into force on 22 August 2005, was Singapore’s first FTA with a Middle Eastern country. It eliminates nearly 100% of tariffs on Singapore’s exports to Jordan, safeguards market access, and ensures a more predictable operating environment for companies.
Key features of the SJFTA
Tariff Elimination
Most exports from Singapore can qualify for lower tariffs due to liberal Rules of Origin commitments.
Enhanced market access
The SJFTA safeguards market access and ensures a more predictable operating environment for service suppliers. Singapore service suppliers enjoy preferential market access in the following service sectors: Research and Development Services, Advertising Services, Convention Services and Services incidental to Manufacturing.
Liberalised trade environment for E-commerce.
To facilitate further e-commerce flows between Singapore and Jordan, both sides have committed to refraining from imposing customs duties on electronic transmissions, imposing unnecessary barriers to market access for digitized products and impeding the ability to deliver services through electronic means.
