The certificates you receive will be:
GTECyberTrustRoot.crt
ComodoSecurityServicesCA.crt
domain.crt

These must be imported in the correct order:
GTECyberTrustRoot.crt
ComodoSecurityServicesCA.crt
domain.crt

Use the keytool command to import the certificates as follows:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root -file GTECyberTrustRoot.crt -keystore domain.key

If you are using an alias then please include the alias command in the string. Example:

keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias yyy (where yyy is the alias specified during CSR creation) -file domain.crt -keystore domain.key

The password is then requested.
Enter keystore password: (This is the one used during CSR creation)
The following information will be displayed about the certificate and you will be asked if you want to trust it (the default is no so type 'y' or 'yes'):
