Customs: facilities for Moroccans living abroad

THE Moroccans residing abroad (MRE) benefit from customs facilities for the temporary importation of personal effects during their stays in Morocco. Two main regimes exist, depending on their professional situation.

For all MREs, temporary admission allows certain everyday objects to be imported free of duties and taxes. This provision covers personal jewelry, portable musical instruments, laptop computers, as well as wheelchairs (manual or electric) and other orthopedic accessories, such as walkers, intended for people with reduced mobility. Light sports equipment, such as rackets, surfboards or golf equipment, are also included, as are children’s toys, with the exception of remote-controlled flying objects such as drones. These items, intended for personal or family use, must be re-exported at the end of the stay. Otherwise, the duties and taxes in force will be applied. This temporary importation can be done in accompanied or unaccompanied baggage.
