Comoros Air Freight from China: routing and transit
We move door-to-door air freight from South China into Comoros. Cargo enters through HAH (Moroni Prince Said Ibrahim) and clears with Direction Générale des Douanes des Comores, which takes 7–15 days on average.
Mutsamudu on Anjouan is the deeper port and handles much of the container volume, with Moroni serving Grande Comore. Cargo transships through Mombasa, Dar es Salaam or Port Louis. Inter-island movement is by small coastal vessel and should never be assumed to be included in a quote.
