Haiti is located on the western side of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean and has a population of more than 11 million people. The country shares the island with the Dominican Republic and maintains trade connections with the United States, Canada, France, and other Caribbean nations. Haiti has a highly import-dependent economy due to limited industrial production and ongoing infrastructure constraints.
Most advanced equipment, telecommunications hardware, medical devices, laboratory instruments, and industrial machinery used in Haiti are imported. Demand for imports is generated by humanitarian programs, telecommunications expansion, energy projects, healthcare services, and reconstruction and infrastructure work.
Imports are commonly required for
• Telecommunications and connectivity projects
• Power and renewable energy systems
• Hospital and medical equipment
• NGO and humanitarian operations
• Construction and infrastructure development
• Manufacturing and assembly facilities
Main cargo entry points include
• Toussaint Louverture International Airport, the primary air cargo gateway
• Port-au-Prince Port, the main commercial seaport
• Cap-Haïtien Port, used for regional and industrial cargo
• Land and coastal shipping routes connecting the Dominican Republic
Imports are controlled by the Administration Générale des Douanes, where importer registration, customs valuation, HS classification, and tax compliance must be completed before goods can be released.
Haiti applies import duties together with local taxes and fees depending on product type. Shipments without a registered importer or correct documentation often remain held at port until compliance is verified.
For foreign manufacturers, telecom vendors, humanitarian organizations, healthcare suppliers, and infrastructure contractors shipping equipment into Haiti without a local company, using a compliant Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) structure is frequently required to complete Customs clearance.
