WHAT PAPERWORK IS NEEDED FOR INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT SHIPMENTS TO SPAIN?
Documentation requirements vary depending on the category of goods being shipped and can get quite
extensive. They usually include: Commercial invoice, Bill of lading / Air waybill, Packing list, Insurance
certificate, Certificate of Origin (if required). To avoid delays or hassles when shipping to Spain,
your packing list must be as detailed as possible. Vague wording like “miscellaneous” attracts negative
attention and further inspections.

Regulations can be strict on certain categories of goods being imported to Spain. Prior authorization or
special permits may be needed for certain items such as pharmaceuticals, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices,
some chemical products, meat. Prohibited commodities include products such as used clothing and used shoes,
used tires, firearms, etc.

well-documented the cargo is, those values could be determined by the judgment of Customs Officials on the
spot.
