By the end of May 2026, Morocco’s customs revenue exceeded 42.2 billion dirhams, marking a 7.9% increase compared to the same period the previous year, according to the latest data released by the Kingdom’s General Treasury (TGR).
This growth confirms the positive momentum of tax revenues linked to foreign trade and reflects the resilience of the national economy during the first five months of the year.
Import VAT Remains the Primary Source of Revenue
According to the monthly note on public finance statistics, customs revenues mainly derive from customs duties, import value-added tax (VAT), and the domestic consumption tax (TIC) applied to energy products.

Customs Duties Continue to Progress
Revenues generated from customs duties surpassed 7 billion dirhams during the first five months of the year, reflecting a 6.6% increase compared to the same period in 2025.
This growth indicates changes in trade flows and the sustained level of imports subject to customs charges.
Strong Growth in the Domestic Tax on Energy Products
The domestic consumption tax applied to energy products has shown the highest growth among the various components of customs revenues.
By the end of May 2026, its revenues reached nearly 9.1 billion dirhams, an increase of 13.2% compared to the same period last year. This development highlights the importance of energy products in the state’s tax revenues.
Gross Revenues Approaching 49 Billion Dirhams
The General Treasury of the Kingdom also specifies that gross revenues from customs taxes, before accounting for refunds, exemptions, and tax reimbursements, reached nearly 49 billion dirhams by the end of May 2026.
This amount represents a 7.9% increase compared to the first five months of 2025, confirming the upward trend of fiscal resources linked to foreign trade.
An Essential Contribution to Public Finances
The continuous growth of customs revenues is an important indicator of the vitality of the Kingdom’s trade exchanges. It also contributes to financing public policies and strengthening budget balances in a context characterized by ongoing strategic investments and economic reforms.
