Tariff Preferences for Western Sahara Products: Customs Information Note 05/2026, February 9, 2026

  • The EU and Morocco have agreed to extend tariff preferences to products from Western Sahara, specifically in the fruit, vegetable, and fisheries sectors.
  • These products, under Moroccan customs control, will receive the same trade preferences as Moroccan products under the EU-Morocco Association Agreement.
  • Customs authorities in both the EU and Morocco are responsible for ensuring proper application and identification of these products.
  • Proof of origin documents (EUR.1 certificates or invoice declarations) must reference the specific Western Sahara regions (“Dakhla Oued Ed-Dahab” or “Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra”) as appropriate.
