Selling a Moroccan-made brand in France

A cosmetic made in Morocco sells in France just like a product made in Europe, as long as it complies with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009: a Responsible Person established in the EU, a Product Information File, a safety assessment and a notification on the CPNP portal. Since 2012, industrial products of Moroccan origin have entered the European Union duty-free, with an EUR.1 certificate of origin.

Questions about manufacturing cosmetics for France

Another question? An advisor will answer you on WhatsApp.

Can a cosmetic made in Morocco be sold in France?

Yes. Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 governs the product placed on the market, not where it is made. A cosmetic made in Morocco can be sold in France if it has a Responsible Person in the EU, a PIF, a safety assessment and a CPNP notification. See our guide to exporting to Europe.

Who is the Responsible Person?

It is your company if it is established in the European Union, or your importer, or a representative appointed in writing. We provide them with the complete Product Information File.

Are there customs duties between Morocco and France?

Since 2012, industrial products of Moroccan origin have entered the European Union free of customs duties under the EU–Morocco Association Agreement, with an EUR.1 certificate of origin.

Will the labeling be in French?

Yes. The mandatory information on your products is written in French, in line with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and French rules.

Where is your factory?

Our factory is in Aït Melloul, Greater Agadir, Morocco. We support French brands remotely, on WhatsApp or by video call.
