Morocco-Spain Border Customs Reopening Advances with Second Successful Test

This second test is "progress" in the implementation of the roadmap agreed between Spain and Morocco for the "full and gradual normalization" of their trade relations, said sources from the government delegation in Sebta. "Solutions have been found to the many technical difficulties noted during the pilot test successfully carried out on January 27," the same sources added, specifying that the technical and administrative arrangements are being put in place according to the timetable established during the high-level meeting in February.

For the moment, the two countries have not yet defined the type of goods that could transit through the Sebta customs. Since the reopening of the borders on May 17, the Moroccan authorities have banned the passage of food or textile products from the autonomous city. Spain allows the passage of fresh fish and shellfish, live snails and "non-animal origin products at room temperature". The products will undergo "sanitary" and customs control at the Land Transport Attention Point (PATT) in the port, located about 5 kilometers from the border.
