Need to Know

Understanding cannabis export law starts with the right questions.

Do I need an export license?

Yes. All cannabis exports from Morocco require a license issued by ANRAC. You must also comply with applicable domestic regulations related to product quality, origin, and distribution.

Can I export to Europe?

Yes, but strict compliance is required. European markets impose specific rules on THC thresholds, lab testing, packaging formats, language requirements, and product certification.

What documents do I need?

You’ll need an export license, certificate of origin, lab analysis reports, buyer contracts, invoices, customs declarations, and possibly additional documents depending on the destination country.

How long does it take to get export-ready?

On average, it takes 3–6 weeks. The timeline depends on how quickly required documents are prepared, which destination markets are involved, and how long regulatory review takes.
