2- Regarding false declaration of the species or origin of goods imported, to be exported or placed under a suspensive regime, if no customs duty or tax whatsoever is evaded in the compromise, no fine will be applied.

However, the customs services will correct the customs declaration before the liquidation of any duties and taxes (Notice No BM/AGD/0007/10-2023 published on October 2, 2023)
