Morocco customs guide 2026
How customs duty is calculated in Morocco
Customs cost in Morocco is built from four elements: the customs value (CIF = price + shipping + insurance, converted to dirhams), the import duty (DI, from 0% to 40% depending on the product), the parafiscal tax PFI (0.25%) and VAT (7% or 20%) applied on an enlarged base.
For cars, customs relies on reference values and the under-5-years rule: always compare your estimate with the official MCV service. Temporary admission lets Moroccans living abroad (MRE) drive their foreign-registered car in Morocco for up to 180 days per year, duty-free.
If the product's origin is the European Union, Türkiye, the United States or an Arab country bound by agreement, an origin certificate (EUR.1) can bring the DI down to zero — VAT always remains due.
