Customs & documentation for Spain
UK to Spain shipments require customs declarations since Brexit. Spanish IVA (VAT) at 21% applies to most imported goods. Items under €150 in value avoid customs duty. Deliveries to the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla have different customs rules and may incur additional charges.
Every international shipment requires a customs declaration (CN23) listing the contents, value, and weight of each item. Most couriers generate this automatically when you book. Make sure you describe items accurately to avoid delays at Spanish customs.

- Delivery to rural Spanish addresses can take 1–2 extra days. Major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia have the fastest delivery.
- Include the recipient's DNI or NIE number if shipping commercially. Spanish customs may require it for clearance.
