Import ProceduresFor free imports, the importer must sign a commitment for imports on form "Commitment for Import, Import license, Preliminary Import Declaration". The Commitment for Import must be drawn up in 5 specimens and accompanied by a proforma invoice in 5 copies specifying:
- the unit price expressed in ex-works value, FOB, FAS;
- quantity expressed in units of appropriate measures;
- trade description of the goods.
The importer must present it for domiciliation to a selected approved bank. After domiciliation, the bank gives the importer its copy and two copies, in a closed envelop, intended for the customs office. The Commitment for Import is valid for 6 months as from the date of its domiciliation and facilitates passing through customs and the financial settlement of the goods.
Finally, an application for exemption from customs duties is necessary for free imports allowed as duty-free within the framework of the tariff and commercial Agreements and Accords concluded between Morocco and certain countries, products belonging to tariff quotas envisaged by the Association and Free trade Agreements concluded between Morocco and the European Community and Morocco and the States of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), and products belonging to tariff quotas envisaged by the Multilateral Agreements.
