Embassy requirements and legalisation fees
        
All shipments to Morocco must be covered by an Arab-Irish Certificate of Origin and along with an Invoice must be certified by the JA-ICC. If legalisation is required then our Chamber will arrange legalisation by the relevant Embassy.
A Halal Certificate stating that slaughter was according to Muslim law must accompany fresh, frozen meat and poultry.
Health and Radiation Certificates are often required for food, meat and poultry consignments.
      
      
If Legalisation is required then the exporter can legalise themselves at the Moroccan Embassy in Dublin once documentation has been certified by our Chamber.
