How to Ship to Morocco from the US
Morocco is a stable North African country with strong ties to Europe and a growing ecommerce sector. Casablanca and Rabat are the main commercial centers. US goods including electronics, clothing, health products, and specialty food are imported regularly. The Moroccan-American diaspora and the large Moroccan community abroad generates personal package traffic, particularly during holidays.
Moroccan customs (ADII) applies import duties on most goods. Import duties vary from 2.5% to 40%+ depending on the product. Moroccan VAT (TVA) is 20% on most imports. Morocco has a free trade agreement with the US (in effect since 2006), the US-Morocco FTA, which has reduced tariffs on many qualifying goods. Barid Al-Maghrib (Moroccan Post) handles USPS final-mile delivery; couriers are faster.
