Includes the barriers (tariff and non-tariff) that U.S. companies face when exporting to this country.
Last Published: 8/9/2017

U.S. companies do not face particularly high tariff rates on their exports and no targeted restrictions on selling to the government of Mongolia.  Although the import licensing regime is vague and nontransparent at times, companies can work through the requirements.  Mongolia has not yet availed itself of anti-dumping and countervailing duties to support domestic production.  It will occasionally ban products — usually for health and safety reasons.  Mongolia does also impose quarantines on domestic agricultural products, usually livestock-based; however, a lack of capacity to monitor quarantined products in-country forces Mongolia to ban entry of any suspect agricultural product.

The government of Mongolia, in order to support domestic manufacturing, imposes tariffs from 6.5 to 20 percent on over 100 goods spanning 28 categories of imports.
