How to Import a Chinese EV to Morocco (2026)

No Zeekr dealership in Morocco is listed in our directory yet. Importing may be the only way to buy some models.

New cars can be imported into Morocco with no age condition. Electric cars and hybrids pay a reduced 2.5% import duty under the general regime, the one that applies without a free-trade certificate of origin, as for a car made in China.

Used passenger cars can be imported if they are under five years old on the day of customs clearance.

Under five years old on the day of customs clearance, counted from the first registration.

• Moroccans living abroad aged 60 or more get a 90% reduction on duties and taxes, under conditions such as not reselling the car.

An electric or hybrid car from China pays 2.5% import duty and 0.25% parafiscal tax on its CIF value, then 20% VAT. Electric cars and hybrids are exempt from the luxury stamp duty and from the annual vignette.

• Some websites announce 0% VAT on electric cars; the 2026 General Tax Code has no such exemption, so plan on 20%.
• For a hybrid, the exact rate can depend on its tariff line and hybrid type.
• A petrol car from outside the EU pays up to 17.5% import duty, plus a luxury stamp duty of 5% to 20% from MAD 400,000.
• Rates can change with each Finance Law: check a specific model with the customs (ADII) simulator before buying.

Homologation at the Centre National d'Essais et d'Homologation (CNEH) is required, even for a new car, before registration with NARSA. Bring the manufacturer's certificate of conformity (COC).
