The old D16ter temporary importation system for vehicles has been discontinued from the 1st Jan 2019

Well the site seems to have cut off 50% of my previous post

link to the circular
ADMINISTRATION DES DOUANES Et Impôts indirects

the bottom one is relevant

Basically D16ter replaced with new BADR computer system, you can no longer complete and print a D16 online. Current D16's are valid until they expire or the vehicle leaves the country

Well spotted, could be a new challenge.

OK, apparently, you fill out a form in Tangier Med on arrival.

Turn up at customs present you paperwork for the vehicle and passport.

Customs will then complete the process and issue you either an A4 form or a smaller Card version.

You can also now check the importation status online (I’ll try and find a link)

So are we presuming the online form-in-advance option is dropped for good?

Possibly, at customs you only get 1 copy of the paperwork so you have nothing to get stamped on exit. I suspect you’ll get a “receipt” of sorts on exit

A response from the Moroccan customs...

In order to facilitate the passage through customs, it was decided to exempt travelers to the subscription of D16 ter declarations from 01/01/2019.
From now on, the temporary admission of the means of transport imported by the persons having their habitual residence abroad, will be taken care of on the BADR system by the customs agent, on the basis of the indications provided by the traveler for the identification. of his means of transport. Here is the link to the circular circulated on this subject on the Administration's website

(The link doesn’t work as its on their Intranet)

I have no idea what all this means in practice but will be entering Morocco in ten days time and will report back if someone else hasn’t already done so.

See my earlier post Tim.

Arrive at customs, present registration and passport. They then give you either A4 or a card with the details on.

Friends on a first time trip to Morocco entered on the 1st and said it’s very straight forward.

What happens on exit is still unknown.

This is what the A4 version look like

Tim; Thanks, I hope to be there not long after. According to "Carlos's" office, it's a very simple process all done in Customs, as "the warden" mentioned, just need your vehicle docs as normal, however what form/part of form etc you need to keep, if any for the exit, they couldn't really answer.



The Warden; hope that isn't the paperwork your friends need on exit, black marker pen may not be helpful.

Just trying to mask personal info

Direct link to the circulaire (as the link in #2 no longer includes it):
http://www.douane.gov.ma/dms/loadDoc...cumentId=77570

It says (bottom of first page) that at exit one gets an annotation on the receipt that is issued at the entry. So it's practically the same as before - the receipt is equivalent to the white sheet of the D16ter. The other two copies (the one for the entry office and the one to be kept and given back to the exit office) are no longer needed given that everything stored in the system anyhow.

In principle it makes a lot of sense and also makes the thing marginally simpler (no worry of loosing the exit copy, which was a major problem; no hassle from "helpers" at the border that insist on filling the form for you)...

But there's a possible side effect: entering with a van or car+trailer loaded with a few bikes used to be possible (ie tolerated) for a single person by annotating the D16ter of the car or van with the list of bikes (see
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...3-3#post536236). This was a sort of "trick" because (in my understanding) only one vehicle per person could be filed in their database; but by listing additional ones in the D16ter the officer at exit could immediately see if any vehicle had been left behind. This has been working for me for a number of years in a row with just some extra discussion. I assume it will be harder now, since there is no paper that must be given back at exit (the receipt paper, being just a receipt, is something we can pretend to have lost without consequences).
Unless, of course, officers will be allowed to file several vehicles in the system for the same person. Any clarification on this would be very useful...

Thanks. It wasn't clear to me that you were writing of your experience with the new system.

Thanks Bertrand.



And in a poor French/English google translate.



I contacted the Director General of the Moroccan Douanes.
For info, below her answer:

Hello,
In response to your request, I wish to inform you of the date of the 01/09/2019 declaration of d’AT D16ter was deleted and replaced by verbal declaration of the traveler at the moment of entry and whose indications will be entered over on the computer system from this Administration.
For the needs of counterfeit Circulation of means of transport,
customs service prints and defends the traveler a TA document.
