Consultation and initial document review:

1

We check the car and its details to determine the possibility of customs clearance and registration in Spain without paying taxes and customs duties.

Preparing Documents for Car Import

The procedure usually takes from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the broker's workload. At the end of this process, we receive tax exemption documents for the tax office.

ITV, Technical Inspection

This is the only place where you will need to come personally with your car. It should be in good condition and ready for inspection. The procedure takes about an hour, but we wait for the documents and pick them up in a week.

Tax Office

With the existing set of documents, we submit them to the tax office and get approval for vehicle registration. On average, the documents are prepared in about a week after the application. The city tax, where you live, is paid separately.

At this stage, we receive Spanish registration documents and the vehicle's technical card.
