The Comoros: Company Perspectives – An ITC Series on Non-Tariff Measures (French) (en)

Comorian exports of cloves and vanillas, two of the country’s key products, are extremely limited by trade barriers according to an ITC business survey on non-tariff measures.

Overall, regulatory and procedural obstacles to trade affect nearly three-quarter of exporters in the Comoros. Taxes and lack of infrastructure affect the competitiveness of small businesses.

The report suggests streamlining the tax system, strengthening certification and testing institutions, and improving information transparency.
