Guide | 5 Essentials for Exporting from China to Morocco

Morocco is becoming an increasingly strategic gateway to Africa, attracting Chinese exporters looking to expand into new markets. However, navigating your first shipment can be tricky without the right knowledge and support.

Here are 5 must-know tips for a smooth, successful export experience from China to Morocco. 💡

Incomplete paperwork is one of the most common causes of customs delays. Make sure you have:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading or Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• Inspection or health certificates (if applicable)
• Export Customs Declaration Form

Each country has unique customs rules, and Morocco is no exception.

Keep in mind:

• Certain categories (textiles, electronics) face import duties
• Labels may require Arabic or French translations
• Some items need import licenses or pre-approval

🔍 Working with a partner who knows local regulations helps reduce the risk of clearance issues and delays at Tangier or Casablanca ports.

Sea Freight

• Ideal for: bulk goods, furniture, or industrial equipment
• Transit Time: 
  Suez Canal Route: 30-38 days
  South Africa Route: 40-52 days
• Best when: cost-efficiency matters more than speed

Air Freight

• Ideal for: urgent, lightweight, or high-value items like electronics or samples
• Transit Time: 3–7 days
• Best when: speed and safety are the priority

🔍 At ASI Logistics, we offer combined sea + inland truck routes, making it easier to reach inland Moroccan cities like Fez and Marrakesh cost-effectively.

Morocco has strong demand for Chinese goods, particularly in:

• Consumer electronics
• LED and solar energy products
• Household appliances
• Textiles and footwear
• Building materials

🔍Choosing a logistics solution that allows warehouse consolidation or supplier pickups across China can help you ship efficiently, even with varied product types or suppliers.

Especially for new exporters, managing multiple vendors — freight, customs, delivery — can lead to gaps and delays. Look for partners who offer:

• Pickup, freight, and clearance in one workflow
• Local delivery network in Morocco
• Bilingual communication (Chinese/French)
• Route flexibility (air or sea)
