Inventory: Make a detailed inventory of all items you plan to move.
Quotation: Contact Matthew James Removals Spain and provide your inventory, collection and delivery addresses, access information and any packing or storage requirements.
Customs requirements: The paperwork depends on the route, your residency circumstances and the contents of the shipment.
Customs Paperwork for Moves to Spain
Moves from the UK or another non-EU country
Moves into Spain from outside the EU customs territory may require export and import customs declarations, a detailed inventory, identification and documents supporting the change of residence. Used personal belongings may qualify for Transfer of Residence relief when all eligibility conditions are met, but relief is subject to customs approval.
Moves from another EU member state
Used household belongings already in free circulation within the EU will not normally require import customs clearance when moved directly from another EU member state to mainland Spain. An EORI number is used for customs operations such as import, export and transit; it is not a standard requirement for an ordinary private household move within the EU.
New, restricted or specialist items
New goods, vehicles, plants, alcohol, tobacco, commercial goods and controlled or restricted items may be subject to separate rules, taxes, permits or documentary requirements. Vehicle importation and Spanish registration should be checked separately from the household removal.
Requirements vary according to the individual move and can change. Our team will explain the documents relevant to your shipment. You can also use our UK to Spain Customs Paperwork Checklist to help organise your paperwork.
