Bonded Facilities in Morocco?
 
Does anyone know the definitive position on leaving a vehicle in Morocco for a couple of weeks or months? E.g. driving one down as a UK citizen and then flying back without it, before retuning to collect it. I assume there are bonded warehouses at the big airports (Casablanca, Marrakech or even Agadir) but if there are does anyone know where and what the process is. Or is there another way. I have a house in with secure storage, so that’s not the problem – it’s just the customs / tax position.
I’ve also always assumed that as a non Moroccan resident it’s difficult and expensive to leave a car there permanently (hefty import duty and difficult to register etc) but I stand to be corrected.
I’d appreciate any insight or experiences people have.
Cheers
Guy

Yes it's expensive to permanently import, there's information on the costs on the customs site at Douanes Marocaines : Administration des Douanes et Impôts Indirects It might be simpler and cheaper to buy something old and battered that's already on MA plates.

There's bonded warehouses at airports and seaports, for example A-Z World Airports Online - Country Index - Morocco airports - Casablanca - Mohammed V Airport (CMN/GMMN) but you will probably have to go via an agent, so why not chat to James Cargo at JCServices - Motorcycle Transportation - Namibia

I googled 'bonded warehouse' and Morocco and found details of RH Freight and Janismar at Warehouse & Logistics - Industry News

Roamingyak managed to leave his L Rover at the airport while he flew out to the UK for a couple of weeks. I recall reading the details on:
