PortNet Foreign Trade: practical guide

PORTNET Foreign Trade is Morocco’s portal for import and export procedures. PortNet describes it as a national platform that centralises and digitises exchanges between economic operators, public administrations and other foreign-trade stakeholders. This page explains its role before you move to the official service.

What is PORTNET Foreign Trade for?

The portal is designed to bring procedures that may involve several authorities into one digital environment. It primarily serves importers, exporters and customs brokers / freight forwarders acting as transit agents. Depending on the procedure, a user may submit a request, send supporting files, exchange an authorisation, check a case status or follow an operation linked to foreign trade.

PortNet lists a broad range of digitised services, including import-title procedures, licences and authorisations, goods-control workflows, certain customs exemptions, health or technical controls, payment services and data exchanges with Customs and partner administrations. The exact path depends on the goods, customs regime and competent authority.

Who should use this portal?

The official portal highlights three main profiles: importer, exporter and transit agent. Start by identifying your actual role in the transaction, because screens, permissions and available services can vary according to the account profile and its authorisations.

Before starting a procedure

• define the operation precisely: import, export, licence, authorisation, control, payment or tracking;
• identify the administration or partner involved in the procedure;
• prepare the commercial, customs and administrative references already available to you;
• use the account and permissions that match your real role in the operation;
• check the documents, processing times and fees shown in the selected service, as these vary by procedure.

Examples of procedures available

The official catalogue illustrates the scope of the single window: import titles, export licences, customs exemptions, authorisations for certain products or equipment, submission of documents for controls, bank-guarantee workflows, Customs powers of attorney and E‑CITES procedures. These examples describe the portal’s scope but do not replace the live official catalogue.

PORTNET Foreign Trade, PORTNET PORTS or PORTNET CARGO?

PortNet operates several digital environments. PORTNET Foreign Trade covers import/export formalities. PORTNET PORTS focuses on port calls and port operations, while PORTNET CARGO covers air freight and other specialised logistics flows. If your need is a port-call or cargo operation rather than a foreign-trade formality, choose the corresponding portal before signing in.

Access, account and case tracking

Official services are accessed through a user account, and available functions depend on profile and permissions. When a request already exists, use its tracking status instead of creating a duplicate submission, and keep the references generated by the platform. For access or technical issues, use PortNet’s official assistance channels rather than an unofficial intermediary.

What this page does not replace

e-services.ma is an independent directory. Regulatory conditions, required documents, fees, processing times and administrative decisions can change and remain the responsibility of the official service or partner authority. Always verify the information displayed in your PortNet procedure before final submission.
