The following documentation is required for all imports and exports:

• A license representing the “physical import or export.”
• A commercial invoice:  Pro-forma invoices are provided in most cases.  No special invoice form is necessary. The commercial or pro-forma invoice should:
  • Be on the supplier’s letterhead.
  • Fully describe the goods in French
  • Indicate the HS code when available.
  • Indicate the value of the goods.
  • Indicate the currency for payment (for foreign exchange transfer), and
  • Indicate the address of the buyer. 
  • Use European-standard date format (dd/mm/yyyy)
• An “import commitment,” which is the authorization provided by the Foreign Exchange Office for transfer of foreign currencies from Morocco to foreign suppliers abroad.
• A “customs declaration” (declaration de douane) provided by the Customs Administration, which is required for import and export through a port or airport.  For shipments by mail, a simple form filled out at the post office replaces the “declaration de douane.”

The importer/exporter may attach any documentation, such as technical documentation, that might assist the Customs Administration. The authority for Customs in Morocco is the Administration of Customs and Indirect Tax: https://www.douane.gov.ma/web/guest requirements for both the U.S. exporter and the foreign importer, or where to find them.
