Source to Fes News: Customs Intensify Inspections of Auto Parts Shops… Fes Official Says There Will Be No Tolerance for Violations to Protect Public Safety

A well-informed source told Fes News that customs authorities continue to conduct inspection and monitoring operations at a number of shops selling new and used automotive spare parts as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen compliance with the laws governing the sector and ensure the safety of products available on the market.

The source explained that these inspection campaigns are part of a broader policy aimed at tightening oversight of supply and distribution chains, given the direct importance of automotive spare parts to vehicle safety and the protection of road users, particularly critical components such as braking systems, steering systems, suspension systems, tires, and airbags.

In a statement to Fes News, an official in the city of Fes confirmed that any violations identified during inspections will be dealt with in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, without any leniency, and that the penalties prescribed by law will be applied according to the nature of each case.

The official added that the purpose of these operations is not to restrict law-abiding professionals, but rather to protect consumers, ensure fair competition, and prevent the circulation of spare parts that may be of unknown origin or fail to comply with legal or technical standards.

The source further noted that the seriousness of certain automotive spare parts lies in their direct connection to vehicle safety. The use of counterfeit or non-compliant parts, if found, may negatively affect vehicle performance and increase the risk of mechanical failures and road accidents. For this reason, stricter inspections are intended, above all, to protect lives and ensure the safety of road users.

The official called on all professionals to retain documentation proving the origin of their merchandise, comply with the laws regulating the sector, and cooperate with inspection authorities. The official stressed that compliant businesses will not be negatively affected by these operations; instead, the inspections will help strengthen confidence in the sector and combat unfair competition.
