The Customs Administration guide specifies that these parts can be imported under the temporary admission regime. For this, an import request must be filed through the vehicle owner’s assistance company. This company must be duly authorized by the Customs and Indirect Taxes Administration.

Parts are registered in the owner’s name

Spare parts imported under this framework are recorded in the Customs Administration’s computer system under the name of the vehicle importer. In other words, they remain linked to the customs status of the car that entered Morocco temporarily.

This clarification is important because it means that parts imported to repair a damaged or broken-down vehicle do not disappear from customs monitoring once installed. Their use remains governed by temporary admission rules.

Old parts must also be regularized

The least-known rule concerns replaced parts. The guide indicates that they must be re-exported at the end of the vehicle’s stay in Morocco. Failing that, they can be cleared through customs with payment of applicable duties and taxes.
