As you engage in the process of car shipping to Morocco, some of the most important questions to consider include:
Do you plan to permanently keep your car in Morocco or is this just a temporary move?
- Is your vehicle for personal use, or do you plan to resell it or use it for commercial purposes?
- How old is your vehicle?
These questions and more will determine whether your car is eligible for shipping to Morocco. Your actual tax rate is also based on these details.
When shipping a car to Morocco, you should never assume that your international car shipping scenario is the same as someone else’s.

Specifically, only diplomats can import passenger cars back into Morocco that are older than 5 years.

Things to Consider
Shipping a Car to Morocco: Costs & Time Frame
Using a baseline of a compact car being shipped using the roll-on/roll-off method from the Port of Los Angeles to the Port of Nador, our estimate for Car Shipping from USA to Morocco starts at a cost of $1,695 USD.
The overall shipping cost to ship your car to Morocco can be affected by various factors, including the vehicle type, model and size, your current location, the nearest departure port in the USA, your chosen shipping method, availability of your chosen services, your destination port, and your final destination. Additionally, you’ll need to consider extra car shipping costs related to shipping a car, such as storage, cleaning, other vendor fees, and Moroccan taxes & duties, such as Morocco’s import taxes and value-added tax. Don’t forget that if your vehicle is non-operational, it may incur higher car shipping rates than running vehicles.
An experienced and reliable shipping company will be able to offer you competitive pricing with top-notch services and customer satisfaction.
Generally, shipping a car to Morocco from the U.S West Coast will cost slightly more money than container shipping from the U.S East Coast.
An estimated timeframe for shipping a car to Morocco measures the duration of a port-to-port service. Typically, the timeframe to ship a car to Morocco from the USA will take between 4-6 weeks, depending on your port of departure, arrival, and method of service. This is provided all the required documents are submitted to us in a timely manner, the vehicle is prepared to depart and all other vehicles to fill the container have been secured.
Taxes & Duties for Morocco Car Shipping
Prior to car shipping to Morocco from the USA, verify your vehicle’s specifications and compliance with Moroccan requirements.
If you are shipping a car to Morocco from the USA, your car will be subject to a 10% import duty as well as 20% VAT levied by the Moroccan government.
However, in certain circumstances, you might be able to gain an exemption from paying customs duties and taxes on a vehicle you import into Morocco for personal use. This includes:
- Private-use vehicles imported temporarily by foreign tourists for short-term stays can be brought into Morocco duty-free for a maximum period of six months under the temporary admission regime. Once this 6 month period ends, the vehicle must either be exported out of the country or cleared for permanent import after meeting the current regulatory conditions for use in Morocco. A temporary import is free if the vehicle is less than 5 years old.
- Diplomats and members of certain international organizations may be exempt from import duties and taxes on importing their own vehicle due to their status. Also, diplomats can import a vehicle older than 5 years old.
- Moroccans who have been living abroad for a specified period and are now returning to Morocco might qualify for duty-free importation of their own car.
The amount of taxes and import duties payable when shipping a car to Morocco from the US will vary and depends upon the individual details of your car shipment.

Shipping a Car to Morocco: Options
Car Shipping from USA to Morocco can be performed using a shared container, a sole container or a roll-on/roll-off service. It is important to find the best solution to meet your shipping needs.
Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo shipping) – Vehicles are loaded onto a ship that contains a cargo area built like a very big parking garage. International RoRo shipping tends to be cheaper as, other than the shipping charge, you are required to pay only port charges and customs clearance charges. This is a convenient and cost effective shipping method for wheeled vehicles.
Transits tend to be faster than with the shared container service, as the vessels depart on a weekly basis.
Shared container service – This method for car shipping to Morocco requires multiple vehicles to be loaded into one shipping container. While there are more fees involved to ship a car from the USA to Morocco with shared container service than with the roll-on/roll-off shipping method, due to the fact that the container must be processed, these charges are shared between the various clients who are using the container. Such fees include a trucking charge, terminal handling charge, customs clearance, and charge for unloading the vehicles at a bonded warehouse.
One disadvantage is that you might face a longer wait before your vehicle departs, as the container must have a full load before shipping to Morocco.
Full container load – You have the added benefit of a fully enclosed container, just like our shared container service, but the 20 ft container is dedicated solely to your vehicle. Since there’s no wait for other cars to be loaded, you’ll enjoy a shorter wait before departure. However, additional terminal handling fees and other charges won’t be shared with other vehicle owners.
Our most selective customers prefer the enhanced protection and expediency offered when shipping cars with dedicated container shipping. When your vehicle is received, we’ll photograph and document the vehicle’s condition as well as the loading process. Your vehicle will be loaded using our modern steel loading system, which is not only environmentally friendly, but doesn’t rely on outdated wood ramps and nails that other shipping companies use, which can damage your vehicle.
After your car is loaded onto your own private container, it is locked and secured. This will ensure no one gains access to your car before reaching its final destination. Since the vehicle is fully enclosed in a secure container, we invite our clients to pack and transport other personal items inside the vehicle. However, everything must be loaded securely, as we won’t be responsible for loss or damage of any kind.
Once your vehicle reaches its destination in Morocco, our agent will unlock the container, document the vehicle’s condition, and photograph the entire unloading process. Every step of the shipping process is not only handled carefully but documented for your peace of mind, making this a highly secure option.
Compared to our roll-on/roll-off shipping option, enclosed container shipping is not only more secure when shipping to Morocco, but much faster due to frequent departures each week.
Additional Services
Sourcing vehicles – Overseas clients who wish to buy a vehicle can turn to our long list of car buyers developed in our nearly thirty years in the auto industry, who can find and purchase vehicles for an additional fee or commission.
Other services – Some of the auto transport services we offer in overseas territories include domestic pickup, vehicle import assistance, tracking of your shipment, customs clearance in the USA and a full vehicle inspection report.
Ports Served in Morocco
Departure Ports – United States
The location your vehicle will depart from depends on the method of car shipping to Morocco, where your vehicle is located, your budget, and which services the nearest port offers. We have multiple departure locations from which we can ship cars from the USA, including Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Miami, Savannah, and more.
Destination Ports – Morocco
Here are the entry ports in Morocco that we can ship a car to.
Cleaning Your Vehicle’s Undercarriage
Before shipping to Morocco, the undercarriage of your car must be cleaned and free of foreign soil to prevent the introduction of invasive plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. This can be accomplished through steam cleaning or other thorough cleaning methods.
CFR Classic can assist with finding an appropriate cleaner to help ensure you comply with this requirement before car shipping to Morocco. We do not recommend washing the interior of the vehicle as it can cause mold during transport. Vacuuming the interior is usually more than sufficient prior to car transport.
Plating Your Vehicle in Morocco
After the safe arrival of your vehicle in Morocco from the U.S., it must be registered. Once your car has been cleared through customs and you have paid all of the relevant import duties and taxes, you will need to register your vehicle with the Department of Transportation. As part of this process, your vehicle will need to undergo an inspection to ensure that it complies with all of the relevant Moroccan safety and environmental regulations.
Remember that, before registering your vehicle, you must ensure that you have a suitable Moroccan insurance policy in place that meets all local requirements.
To register your car with the Moroccan authorities, you will need to gather together all of the necessary documentation, including:
- Ownership Certificate/Original Title
- Original Vehicle Registration Document
- Copy of a Valid Passport, Driver’s License, and/or Residence Permit to prove your identity and residency status in Morocco. (this must include a Moroccan Arabic or French translation if written in a foreign language) – this document must be certified as being an accurate translation of the original document by an official translator, or competent diplomatic or consular representative.
- Customs Declaration/Clearance Statement
- Proof of Payment of Moroccan Taxes and Duties
- Proof of Valid Insurance Covering the Moroccan Territory
- Certificate of Conformity (COC)
Once you have completed the registration process and paid any applicable registration fees, you will be issued with your registration certificate and license plates. Notably, in Morroco, license plates follow a specific format, depending on whether they are permanent or temporary.
More information about the registration process can be found here on the Moroccan Ministry of Transport and Logistics information pages: https://www.transport.gov.ma/Pages/accueil.aspx
