Limited Trade Activity for Medium Trucks Between US and Eritrea
Recent trade data indicates minimal activity in the export of vehicles with G.V.W. exceeding 5 metric tons but not exceeding 9 metric tons (HS Code: 8704.22) from the United States to Eritrea, attributed to ongoing economic sanctions and limited bilateral trade agreements.

Impact: The negligible trade volume in this category continues to reflect restricted market access and limited demand, with no significant growth expected in the near term.
US Sanctions Impact Eritrea Trade for Medium-Heavy Vehicles
US sanctions on Eritrea, extended in late 2022, continue to hinder trade in medium-heavy vehicles (G.V.W. 5-9 metric tons, HS Code: 8704.22), with no recorded exports from the US to Eritrea in the past quarter.

Impact: Sanctions severely limit potential trade in this category, affecting US exporters and restricting Eritrea's access to such vehicles.
Eritrea's Import Restrictions Affect US Vehicle Exports
Eritrea's stringent import regulations and foreign currency shortages have led to a near-complete halt in imports of medium trucks (G.V.W. 5-9 metric tons, HS Code: 8704.22) from the United States, as reported by trade analysts.

Impact: These restrictions exacerbate the already low trade volume, creating barriers for US manufacturers seeking to enter the Eritrean market.
