Haiti is a small country in the Caribbean that shares the Hispaniola island with Dominican Republic. The island is a flush spot for tourism, thanks to its beautiful beaches and shorelines. This is a very dynamic trade between the US and Haiti. At Promptus LLC, we can facilitate shipments between Haiti and the United States using safe and reliable transportation options. Whether you need a small, LTL (less-than-load) service, or larger scale FTL (full truckload) options, we can help.

Main Ports and Airports in Haiti

Seaports

As you can imagine, Haiti’s location makes it very accessible by water. As such, there is a number of seaports on its coast that allow cargo ships and other trade vessels to pass through. Here are the most popular harbors:

  • Port of Cap Haitien
  • Port of Gonaives
  • Port of Jacmel
  • Port of Jeremie
  • Port of Les Cayes
  • Port of Miragoane
  • Port of Port de Paix
  • Port of Port-au-Prince
  • Port of Port de Paix
  • Port of Saint Marc

The country’s capital, Port-au-Prince, was hit hard during the 2010 earthquake, and the seaport in this city sustained severe damage. However, it has since reopened many of its piers and still handles a large percentage of goods coming in and out of the country.

Airports
As such a small country, Haiti does not have a need for many airports. There are two main international airports, both of which are equipped for cargo transport:

  • Toussaint Louverture International Airport (Port-au-Prince)
  • Cap-Haïtien International Airport (Cap-Haitien)
