Complex import requirements are typical in Morocco, where importing goods from certain countries is prohibited. Additionally, there are further restrictions imposed on communication equipment. Morocco, therefore, requires several documents and licenses to verify the goods’ origin further. These extra licenses can increase lead times, and it is essential to note that identifying HS codes is crucial.
The complexities and challenges of importing into Morocco also include strict regulations on tech and dual-use goods, which are subject to additional scrutiny and special certifications and approvals. High import duties and taxes, limitations in infrastructure, and institutional risks from corruption and fraud further compound trade challenges.
Like it’s neighbor, Algeria, Morocco is a gateway between Africa and Europe and while not as prominent as historical routes, some trade still exists between the Canary Islands and Morocco. Morocco has an Association Agreement with the European Union. This agreement covers trade in goods, services, and investment and includes provisions on cooperation in areas such as development, education, and culture.
Morocco is also a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). These trade agreements have helped to boost Morocco’s economy and create jobs. They have also made Moroccan goods more competitive in international markets.
