Yes. Personal electronics — laptop, phone, tablet, e-reader, camera, headphones — and reasonable gifts come in freely for personal use. Keep quantities modest: multiples of identical new items look commercial and may attract duty. The only electronic that is genuinely restricted is a drone, which is effectively banned and confiscated.

Personal electronics are a non-issue. Every guest arrives with a phone, most with a laptop or tablet, plenty with a serious camera and a bag of chargers, and none of it raises an eyebrow. Bring your devices in your hand luggage, use them normally, and you will sail through. Morocco runs on standard European two-pin plugs at 220V, so pack the right adapter; that is more likely to catch you out than customs is.

Gifts follow the same common-sense logic. A few wrapped presents for friends, a bottle within your allowance, some chocolates — all completely fine. The thing customs watches for is the line between "gifts and personal use" and "stock to sell." If you turn up with ten identical sealed smartphones, a dozen of the same handbag, or quantities that no individual would personally use, that reads as commercial importing and you can be asked to pay duty or prove they are not for resale.

For genuinely expensive single items there is a small, sensible precaution. If you are bringing a very high-value camera system, professional audio gear or similar, keep the receipt and consider having it logged on arrival, so that nobody on departure imagines you sold it locally. It is rarely necessary for ordinary travellers but it costs nothing and saves any awkwardness with valuable professional kit.

The single hard exception in the electronics category is the drone — restricted, routinely confiscated at the airport, and not worth bringing without an advance permit you almost certainly will not get. Everything else a normal traveller carries is welcome. As always, check the current allowances and restricted-item list before you fly, since they are periodically updated.
