Major vehicle import ports in Morocco are Casablanca and Tanger Med. ICE passenger vehicles face a tax burden of around 41%-45% on CIF (plus 5%-20% luxury tax if vehicle value exceeds 400k MAD), whereas BEVs enjoy a preferential 2.5% duty and luxury tax exemption, bringing total tax down to ~23% on CIF. Key compliance constraints include a strict 5-year used vehicle age cap, strict LHD mandate, and minimum Euro 4 emission standard.
