Legal basis: Loi 46-02 (as amended by Loi 66-20)

Snus is reported as permitted in Morocco (sale, purchase and use) per industry sources; there is no explicit prohibition on oral tobacco. A new mandatory IMANOR standard for oral tobacco and nicotine pouches takes effect from February 2026, regulating composition, labelling and safety of imports.

Legal basis: IMANOR mandatory national standard (effective Feb 2026)

Nicotine pouches were previously unregulated. From February 2026 Morocco enforces its first binding national standard (IMANOR) for nicotine pouches, e-cigarettes and muassel, covering composition, labelling, traceability and safety; non-compliant products may not be imported or sold. Pouches are legal but now subject to this standard.
