Your Options for Efficient Export Services to Spain
For businesses aiming to expand into the Spanish market or seeking cost-effective export solutions, Barrington Freight has first-rate road haulage solutions:
- Standard Deliveries: Ideal for large shipments of machinery or equipment, our full load services provide exclusive use of a lorry, ensuring security and efficiency. Alternatively, groupage options are available for smaller shipments. This method allows for cost-sharing by transporting your goods alongside others, reducing outlay while ensuring timely delivery.
- Express Deliveries: When speed is crucial, our express delivery services to Spain ensure swift transport of goods to Spain from ports like Calais and Cherbourg in northern France, heading directly to the Spanish border from there.
These road haulage services are designed to offer flexibility, efficiency and reliability, ensuring your goods reach Spain according to your specific requirements and deadlines.
How Has Brexit Altered the Exportation Process From the UK to Spain?
As Spain is part of the European Union, your business will need an EU and UK EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) to ship there. Customs use these numbers on both sides so they can trace your goods and clear them through the customs processes quickly and easily. Without these numbers, goods will be held at the border and delayed. For more information on how to apply, read What is an EORI number to get started.
More paperwork is now needed for submission now that the UK is not an EU member. What is required entirely depends on the goods in your consignment, so it is essential to understand and research any additional declarations that will clear your goods efficiently through border controls. Shipments will be subject to delays and fees if incorrect paperwork is presented.

How to Export to Spain from UK Depots: VAT, Duty and Guidance
VAT AND EXPORTS TO SPAIN
Spain sets its own VAT rates while following some rules set by the EU Customs. When exporting from the UK, duties are due for consignments from any “third country” outside the EU. With the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, it’s possible to send goods tariff-free if manufactured in the UK and the details are declared to customs.
This free-tariff agreement is set in both the EU and UK directions if it is from the country of origin. Be sure to look into specifics for your goods to plan for additional costs if applicable.
DUTY AND EXPORTING GOODS FROM THE UK TO SPAIN
When exporting goods from the UK to Spain, understanding duty implications is essential. Duties vary based on the type of goods and Spain’s specific regulations.
UK exporters must accurately classify their goods using the Harmonised System (HS) codes to determine the applicable duties. Ensuring proper documentation and adherence to these classifications is crucial for compliance, helping to avoid unnecessary delays and additional costs.
YOUR STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO EXPORTING TO SPAIN
Handling exports to Spain effectively requires a structured approach to ensure compliance and efficiency.
- Check Product Regulations: Verify that your goods comply with both UK and Spanish standards, obtaining necessary certifications and meeting market requirements.
- Obtain an EORI Number: Secure an Economic Operator Registration and Identification number (starting with GB) for exporting goods from the UK to Spain.
- Classify Your Shipment Properly: Ask us to help or make use of the online UK government Trade Tariff tool to apply the correct commodity codes
- Prepare UK-Spain Export Documentation: Gather all necessary documents, including commercial invoices, packing lists and any required export licenses. Our operations team can assist with this.
- Select a Reliable Freight Forwarder: Partner with an experienced freight forwarder like Barrington Freight, specialising in Spanish exports across various commodities.
- Arrange Transportation: Choose the appropriate transportation method based on your shipment’s size, type and urgency, including road haulage, express courier services or groupage for less urgent cargo.
Following these steps helps businesses streamline the management of UK exports to Spain.
The Most Common Commercial Hubs in Spain for British Exporters
