INTERNATIONAL SOURCING
Morocco, located in North Africa, is known for its diverse industrial capabilities and strategic geographical position. To effectively procure and source from Morocco, it’s crucial to approach the process with strategic planning and meticulous execution. Here’s a guide to successfully engage in sourcing from Morocco:

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUYING AND SOURCING
Buying involves transactions with established suppliers, while sourcing requires identifying suitable partners such as manufacturers, importers, or distributors. The objective is to secure competitive pricing and favorable terms for delivery.

DEVELOP A ROBUST PROCUREMENT STRATEGY
Procurement encompasses the entire sourcing and purchasing process. It’s essential to develop a strategy that optimizes sourcing efforts, negotiates competitive pricing, and ensures favorable terms. For significant procurements, conducting a thorough search is advisable, especially when considering international sourcing. Utilizing a sourcing partner can significantly streamline this process.

SELECT THE RIGHT MANUFACTURERS AND VERIFY THOROUGHLY
Before finalizing orders for complex products or substantial quantities, conduct comprehensive due diligence on potential suppliers. If unable to visit personally, ensure a trusted representative familiar with the local market and language verifies the supplier’s credentials.

UNDERSTAND EXPORT AND IMPORT PROCEDURES
Understanding export duties and customs procedures is crucial, as they impact the financial feasibility of sourcing from Morocco and influence shipping timelines. Researching Morocco’s regulations and applicable duties beforehand is essential for smooth operations.
