VAT

VAT on imports is 20%. Rates of 7% and 10% apply to some products and services.

Morocco’s local investment development agency provides more information about tax rates in Morocco.

Import regulations

The Moroccan customs authority regulates all goods imported into Morocco.

All imported goods must be cleared with customs whether they are imported by road, air, sea or post. Most products can be imported without an import licence.

Standards and regulations

Moroccan standards are managed by the Moroccan Standards Institute (website in French).

The AMDI (local investment development agency) and Centre Regional d’Investissement can provide detailed information on export regulations.

Intellectual property (IP)

As a first step, we advise you to speak to an intellectual property lawyer if you think you need patent protection when exporting.

You should apply for trademark protection with the Moroccan Office for Industrial and Commercial Property, who can also help with patents, trademarks and copyright.

Trade barriers

Check for any reported barriers to trading with Morocco.

Report any trade barriers that are affecting your business so we can help fix them.
