Border Taxes
 

Can anyone please confirm what tax if any there is to pay on the Mauritanian side of the border leaving or entering?

I have been stung twice by police, then customs demanding 10euros or its equivalent for issuing the temp vehicle transit paper,+ stamp.

I did try and wait out the guard. He locked the office (it was quiet at Diama), sat in his car and waited me out till I cracked. From Maroc I was tired, everyone else was paying cash, for their vehicles, I presumed it was obligatory. Is it?

For the record, there is no fee needed to pay for the Mauri police entryor exit passport stamp no matter how much they insist.

We had to pay the 10 Euro but then we had no money for the dam crossing so the police paid that!

When they ask for it, it's obligatory! :-)
