Omanโs Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has opened a public consultation on draft regulations covering the sale of chargers and batteries for smartphones, tablets and laptops. The consultation, running from 26 October to 26 November 2026, invites feedback from importers, distributors, retailers, technology businesses and consumers.
The proposed controls focus on four key areas: product safety and quality, technical compatibility, sales and trading practices, and the potential impact on competition and product availability. The objective is to strengthen consumer protection while balancing market flexibility, affordability and innovation.
For businesses operating in Omanโs electronics and IT distribution sector, this is an important opportunity to review the proposed requirements and share practical feedback before the rules are finalised. Importers, retailers and online sellers should examine the draft carefully, particularly if they are planning product sourcing or stock orders for 2027.
As Oman continues to develop its digital economy under Oman Vision 2040, reliable and safe technology accessories are an essential part of building consumer trust and a well-regulated marketplace.
