Morocco's Customs and Indirect Tax Administration (ADII) has published its circular for Operation Marhaba 2026, mobilizing all services to support the summer return of Moroccans living abroad (MRE). The operation aims to facilitate customs clearance and reduce waiting times at entry points.
The circular introduces new customs facilities, including simplified declaration procedures and increased duty-free allowances for personal effects and gifts. Specific measures target smoother passage for vehicles and household goods, with dedicated lanes at major ports and airports.
ADII emphasizes digital tools to streamline processes, encouraging MREs to use online platforms for pre-declaration. The operation runs from June to September 2026, covering all border crossings.
This annual initiative reflects Morocco's commitment to its diaspora, which contributes significantly to the economy. In 2025, over 3 million MREs returned during the summer period, and similar numbers are expected in 2026.
