MOVING TO MOROCCO

Below is a list of the documents you will need when planning an international removal to Morocco:

• Copy Passport (Of the individual moving/importing the goods) showing Entry Permit
• Removal packing list – We will complete this if you want us to undertake a full packing service for your removal
• Certificate of Change of Residence (returning citizens; certificate must be stamped by the Moroccan Consulate in the country of departure)
• Original rated Bill of Lading (OBL) / Express Release / Air Waybill (AWB) – We will take care of this if completing the entire international removal to Morocco for you.
• Detailed moving inventory in French dated, valued and signed by the shipper
• Invoices for electrical, hi-fi appliances and items bought less than 6 months prior to import
• Resident Permit / Work Permit / Letter of Employment
• Exemption Certificate, if applicable (returning citizens)
• Salary advice for the last 2 years (returning citizens)

We recommend providing these as soon as possible to reduce delays with your removal to Morocco. Late receipt of documentation can lead to missed shipments, additional charges and penalties at Moroccan Customs. For your own protection, we will almost never ship your goods without the above in place.

• Documents must be express mailed 15 days prior to shipment arrival to apply for any possible duty-free exemption.
• Used household goods and personal effects are duty free if they have been in the shipper`s possession and use for a minimum of 6 months and an Exemption Certificate has been obtained.
• Containers are systematically checked by Customs. Therefore, it is recommended that electrical household appliances are loaded at the doors of the container for easy access by Customs.

If you’re moving to Morocco, it’s very likely you’ll have to exchange a large amount of currency. Many people waste thousands doing this through their bank as they think there is no alternative; but we partner with Global Reach who specialise in doing just this. Global Reach will offer all Gerson Moving Services customers preferential rates when exchanging currency and guarantee to beat other rates you’re receiving.

We always advise taking out an insurance policy with us on every move. Although we like to think we’re the best in the industry, the odd accident can occasionally happen. For added peace of mind, make sure to speak to one of our move managers about this.

If you have already contracted us for your international removal to Morocco, then you can download the insurance form and email the completed form back to your international relocation manager.
