News from
good friends H&H Consulting Law Firm of changes to enforcement in
Morocco. Moroccan Customs have set
significant fines to be levied against importers of counterfeit products. A new Finance Law came into force on 1
January 2014. That law states that importing counterfeit goods is a 'high level
customs contravention'. The law deals with confiscation and destruction of counterfeit
goods, compensation and
fines. Fines can be up to three times the value of the tax due on the
import.
This part of the
Empty Quarter welcomes this news. Strong
legislation is key to protecting consumer. So much is, however, also down to implementation.
