Comoros lacks a comprehensive framework for consumer protection that applies to online transactions.

Comoros does not implement any de minimis threshold, which is the minimum value of goods below which customs do not charge duties. However, there is reportedly an informal arrangement for a de minimis threshold of USD 116.

According to Arts. 13-19 of the Decree No. 15-093/PR, terminal equipment and radioelectric installations may only be manufactured, imported, sold or distributed in the domestic market if they have been approved in advance by the National Regulation Authority of Information and Communications Technology (Autorité Nationale de Régulation des TIC (ANRTIC)). The applicant needs to send an application detailing information on the equipment and installations submitted for approval to ANRTIC. The approval regime aims to confirm the compliance of the products with essential standards: user's security, security of personnel operating electronic communication networks, protection of networks (in particular exchanges of control and management information), suitability of equipment to operate with the network, proper use of the electrical radio frequency spectrum.

The National Regulation Authority of Information and Communications Technology (Autorité Nationale de Régulation des TIC (ANRTIC)) is the executive authority for the supervision and administration of services in the telecommunications sector and it is independent from the government in the decision-making process. According to Art. 6 of the Law No. 14-031/AU, the ANRTIC is legally distinct and functionally independent from the ministry in charge of electronic communication and the service suppliers.

Comoros mandates functional and accounting separation for operators with significant market power (SMP) in the telecom market. Art. 49 of the Law No. 14-O31/AU states that operators of electronic communications networks having SMP must have a separate accounting for their interconnection activities. It is also reported that functional separation is mandated, but the relevant legislation has not been found.

The licensing regime in the telecom sector is regulated by Law No. 14-031/AU. The regime is transparent and non-discriminatory. Art. 15 of the Framework Law No. 14-031/AU states that "Operators must be companies incorporated under Comorian law, subject to all the provisions of the present law and to Comorian common law, particularly regarding bank domiciliation requirements, use of foreign currency and invoicing currency."

The government owns shares in certain telecommunications companies. In particular, the government owns fully of the operator Comores Telecom and owns 20% of the shares of the operator Telma Comores.

Passive infrastructure sharing is reported to be mandatory in Comoros for the provision of telecommunications services to end-users. It is practiced in the mobile sector and in the fixed sector based on commercial agreements. According to Art. 53 of Law No. 14-031 on electronic communications, the National Regulation Authority of Information and Communications Technology (Autorité Nationale de Régulation des TIC (ANRTIC)) shall encourage the conclusion of agreements for the sharing of infrastructure masts, ducts and towers, electrical equipment, and land.
