After all the fuss, paperwork and bloodtests in getting Harry ready for Morocco, no one wanted to see or check anything. Not on the Moroccan side, nor the Spanish side. My gast was well and truly flabbered!
Sue actually went out of her way on the way back in to Spain to ask the official who dealt with us, as to whether he needed to see Harry's paperwork.
He just said 'no, no, that's fine'
I don't understand it but, I would urge you to err on the side of caution and make sure your pooch has all that's officially required before you head for Morocco.
I suppose it's a bit like bringing back too many bottles of Mr Smirnoff or cartons of fags. If you just waltz through un-challenged, there can often be the, misguided belief that, you could have brought a crate through. Until they do actually stop you, that is.
We kind of 'got away with it' on the way in to Morocco. Duty free allowances apply, as you would expect, and we had enough to attract some frowns, at the very least!
We knew from reading online that, the police come in to your van and 'search' it. He absolutely did once we were at Tangier port. He looked around, opened a couple of cupboards, and was gone.
I'm not sure what their brief is regarding van searches but, it clearly doesn't involve looking for minor allowance infractions.
