Rwanda is one of currently 35 Sub-Saharan African countries that benefit from preferential access to the United States market under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which grants +- 6,700 products duty-free status.

United States importers of products that are made in Rwanda are able to import these goods duty-free, enhancing price competitiveness. These preferences are currently available until end September 2025, unless the AGOA legislation is extended or replaced by another arrangement beyond that date.
