Company
Galcios was born out of frustration with how opaque and manual Morocco's import process is. We're building the infrastructure layer that makes cross-border sourcing from China transparent, fast, and reliable for North African businesses.
Every year, Moroccan importers place billions of dirhams worth of bulk orders from Chinese platforms like 1688, Alibaba, and AliExpress. But calculating what a shipment will actually cost — after customs duties, VAT, TIC, freight, and ADIL fees — requires a customs agent, a spreadsheet, and days of back-and-forth.
Most small and medium importers don't have that. They guess. They get surprised at the port. They lose money on orders they thought were profitable.
Galcios calculates the real landed cost in seconds, for any product, from any Chinese platform. Paste a link. Get a full breakdown in MAD.
We show every line of the landed cost calculation — duty rate, VAT, freight, ADIL fees — so importers can verify the numbers themselves rather than trusting a black box.
We designed Galcios from day one for Moroccan business context: MAD pricing, Arabic and French language support, and deep knowledge of ADIL regulations.
Galcios is not a shopping tool. It's infrastructure for professional importers ordering 500+ units. We don't support retail quantities or consumer use cases.
Our AI analyzes products at 80–90% accuracy and always tells you so. We'd rather show you a confidence range than pretend to be certain when we aren't.
