Iran seeks fees between five and seven percent of cargo value for passage. Oman discusses fees around three percent, while Washington opposes any charges. Shipping companies face compliance issues and potential insurance termination for paying tolls.

Iran and Oman near a deal to manage Strait of Hormuz traffic and impose fees. Iran charges fees by October 31 at 57.5% YES.
