Morocco is a strategic gateway to North Africa, but its import regulations require careful coordination across multiple authorities. From ANRT approvals for telecom equipment to IMANOR conformity certifications and VAT compliance, businesses importing high-value IT, telecom, or medical equipment can face delays, unexpected costs, and regulatory risks.
For companies without a local entity, these complexities increase. That’s where IOR/EOR services in Morocco become essential—ensuring compliant, smooth, and predictable cross-border operations.
In Morocco, the Importer of Record (IOR) ensures all import regulations are met, while the Exporter of Record (EOR) manages outbound compliance. Together, they protect your business from delays and penalties.
Key responsibilities include:
Acting as your legal IOR/EOR in Morocco
Managing customs clearance and documentation
Handling import licenses and pre-shipment declarations
Calculating and paying duties and VAT (20%)
Coordinating ANRT and IMANOR approvals
HS code classification and tariff alignment
Maintaining compliance records (minimum 5 years)
Supporting temporary imports and returns (RMA)
