Companies looking to import goods to Oman must register with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. A special license must be obtained for the importation of certain classes of goods, such as alcohol, livestock, poultry, firearms, narcotics, and explosives. The licensing of business activities can be complicated and can significantly add to the time it takes to get goods to or out of market.

Media imports are subject to censorship by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture for morally or politically sensitive material. The Ministry of Information delays or bars publications if content is deemed morally suspect or politically sensitive.
