Short answer
“Diwana” here means the customs clearance of a car in Morocco. Its cost depends on the vehicle, the customs value applied and the applicable regime. The listing price is not enough to know the duties and taxes.
What to know before you start
- Start by identifying the car and its date of first circulation (première mise en circulation) precisely.
- Find the taxable value in ADII’s official MCV service, without replacing it with the purchase price.
- An AutoDouane estimate does not replace the customs decision.
Questions to get started
How much does customs cost for a car in Morocco?
There is no single amount for all cars. You need the official taxable value, the vehicle and the applicable tariff parameters. AutoDouane leaves unverified amounts unknown.
What is the “diwana” of a car?
This word is used in everyday speech to mean customs or customs clearance. In this guide we use the official term “dédouanement” (customs clearance) to explain the formalities.
Is the purchase price the value customs uses?
Do not copy the price you paid as the MCV value. The MCV method uses administrative references; the valuation details and their sources are explained below.
Where can I find the official MCV value?
Consult ADII’s MCV service for the exact vehicle. Our MCV guide explains the fields and the amounts to tell apart.
To prepare the customs clearance of a car in Morocco, start by separating the price asked by the seller, the expenses of your project and the elements the administration must assess. This page helps you organise these checks, without announcing an amount of duties and taxes.
Independent guide — reviewed on 1 October 2026. AutoDouane is an independent service and is not affiliated with the Administration des Douanes et Impôts Indirects (ADII). The full automatic calculation of duties and taxes remains disabled; only an assisted estimate, based on the official value entered by the user, is offered.
Where to find the official MCV simulator?
The MRE department lists MCV for information and simulation of vehicle customs clearance. The service can be reached on the website of the Administration des Douanes et Impôts Indirects. Check the domain before entering your information.
If the service does not respond, keep your vehicle’s characteristics and your question for ADII. An outage is no reason to replace its answer with a percentage found on a forum.
Purchase price and customs value
Article 20 of the Customs Code, 2026 edition, provides for a transaction value subject to conditions and after adjustments. The following articles set out other methods when it cannot be used. This general framework does not allow AutoDouane to state that the invoice is always accepted, nor that it is always ignored for a used car.
A preparation sheet, not an official list of documents
Before comparing listings, gather the following information. This list is for preparing your questions; it does not replace the file required by the administration.
- The make, the model, the exact version and the documented engine.
- The date of first circulation, distinct from the commercial model year.
- The country of purchase, the country of dispatch and the available proof of origin.
- The price, the currency and the VAT regime indicated by the seller.
- Your residence situation and the regime you wish to have examined.
- The transport quotes and the costs already known, with their date and scope.
Questions to have confirmed
- Is the vehicle admissible in your situation?
- Which value will be used, with which reference date?
- Which classification and which supporting documents determine the tax treatment?
- Which homologation and registration conditions remain to be met?
- Which costs are included in an estimate and which remain at your expense?
AutoDouane has not yet verified all of these dependencies. No overall rate, MRE benefit or per-model amount is offered here. The import budget (FR) tool can already be used to add up only the costs you enter, while leaving the customs costs unknown.

Preparing a specific vehicle
To compare several models before buying, see seven cars to consider in Germany, with 21 dated listings and their limits. The prices shown are not delivered costs in Morocco nor a ranking of the best deals.
For a Clio V, tell generation and first circulation apart. For a Duster, also compare the 4×2 and 4×4 versions and the documented engine. These pages help you ask the right questions before the official MCV consultation.
For a Volkswagen Golf 8, check generation, documents and MCV match before buying. This page organises the model-specific checks without announcing any customs amount. It does not replace the guides on your personal situation.
