UAE-USA Trade — A $26 Billion Relationship
The United States and UAE maintain one of the strongest bilateral trade relationships in the Middle East, with total trade exceeding $26 billion annually. The UAE is the US’s largest export market in the Arab world — and a major re-export hub routing American goods deeper into Asia, Africa, and South Asia.
Emirates Freight handles freight in both directions — US exports arriving at Jebel Ali for UAE and regional distribution, and UAE/Asian goods shipped to US East and West Coast ports.
