The ADII has officially reversed the tariff application on personal shipments under the 1250 MAD threshold. We have confirmed the new procedures will be implemented starting next week. I will monitor the rollout to ensure no further errors occur at customs.

Fellow Moroccan online shoppers,
As you all have noticed, it has become a routine procedure to pay shipment taxes on every online purchase regardless of its value, following the recent tariffs regulation by the ADII (Administration des Douanes et Impots Indirects). While it is genuinely understandable as to why the regulation has been introduced (to monitor illicit purchasing activities by business owners who purchase their merchandise online in installments under the value of 1250 MAD to evade paying taxes when they actually HAVE to), it is absolutely not an excuse to impose this regulation on personal, non-commercial purchases made by regular individuals (not business owners). This is a sweeping generalisation and an abuse of citizens rights. We suggest a serious reconsideration of this policy while taking into account these two main points:
1. Exempt online purchases under 1250 MAD for personal, non-commercial purposes made by individuals. Individuals who exceed that amount are required to pay taxes.
2. Instead of imposing taxes on all shoppers online, make it a compulsory requirement for online business owners to legally register their business for them to be eligible for legal practice and tax payment. This will not only protect our rights as citizens but also regulate online business activities more effectively!
We need your support to protect your rights!

The current trajectory of this petition has caught the attention of a local trade policy analyst who will be reviewing our proposed model for commercial registration. I am preparing a formal brief to submit to the ADII offices to outline how these exemptions can be implemented without compromising regulatory oversight.

At least regulate the taxes and don't make me go to Casablanca to be able to get a product for personal use
This is a violation of consumer rights, and individual freedom, and freedom of the liberal market
I paid 320 euro for a juicy tracksuit that costs 120£. Now my uncle sent me two new ones, i can only imagine how much they'll ask me to pay.
I was charged 1,140 MAD (~$113) for: - Echo Dot (5th Gen) - $34.99. - CableMod Extension Kit - $49.90. - Shipping: $56.52 (UPS Worldwide Expedited). In what world is that fair? There's nothing transparent about the way they calculate these taxes. With this level of corruption, I'm starting to think we're living in Brazil; not Morocco.
Can’t buy anything without crazy taxes!!! What I want is not available in Morocco so raising tax DOES NOT mean I will buy an alternative in Morocco!!!!!!!
Outrageous!!!
RIDICULOUS, THIS STUFF GOTTA BE FIXED ASAP
