The traveler must in particular produce medical documents related to the medications transported. This may be a medical certificate, a prescription or any justification establishing that these products are intended for their own needs.

A commitment to sign upon arrival

Customs also asks the traveler to enter into a commitment. Through this document, the MRE commits to using medications solely for their personal needs.

They must also commit to re-export any unused quantity at the end of their stay in Morocco. The model of this commitment is provided by the services of the entry customs office. The guide indicates that it is also available on the Customs Administration portal.

Personal use is the essential condition

This rule aims to distinguish medications transported for personal treatment from products imported for other uses. The guide clearly specifies that the import of medications for use other than personal is subject to authorization from the Health department.

In this case, payment of duties and taxes may also be required. For MREs, the precaution is therefore simple: travel with a prescription or medical certificate, limit medications to your personal needs and keep the justifications until customs clearance.
