**US opposition to any Hormuz transit fees, whether imposed by Iran or considered by Washington itself, anchors trader expectations on the “US charges Hormuz fees by...?” ladder.** The United States has repeatedly asserted freedom of navigation under international law and rejected compulsory payments for passage through the international strait. After briefly floating a 20 percent cargo reimbursement in mid-July 2026, the administration quickly pivoted to Gulf investment and trade deals instead. The June Islamabad Memorandum’s 60-day toll-free window expired in mid-August without extension, leaving Iran asserting service fees while the US maintains blockades, sanctions on Iranian fee-collection entities, and naval escorts. Ongoing talks involving Oman and the IMO on navigational services have not produced US-endorsed charges, and recent CENTCOM actions focus on enforcement rather than revenue collection. These developments keep implied probabilities for US fee implementation low through year-end.

This market will resolve "Yes" if the United States government collects a payment from any shipping company, vessel, foreign government, or other relevant entity as a fee, toll, or reimbursement for transit through the Strait of Hormuz, or for the protection of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No".
Any payment amount or rate will count. Payments may be monetary or in-kind (e.g., a share of cargo or oil) and may be collected directly by the US government or by an agent, contractor, or intermediary collecting on its behalf, provided the payment is made under a US-imposed fee or a compensation arrangement.
The announcement, signing, or establishment of a fee program, executive order, regulation, or collection mechanism will not by itself qualify; at least one payment must actually be received by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET.
Payments collected by Iran or any other party acting on its own behalf will not count. Payments under preexisting obligations, including US customs duties, tariffs on goods imported into the United States, or standard port charges, will not count unless newly imposed as a condition of Strait of Hormuz transit or protection.
The resolution sources will be official announcements from the government of the United States and a consensus of credible reporting.**US opposition to any Hormuz transit fees, whether imposed by Iran or considered by Washington itself, anchors trader expectations on the “US charges Hormuz fees by...?” ladder.** The United States has repeatedly asserted freedom of navigation under international law and rejected compulsory payments for passage through the international strait.
