Before You Ship to Spain

Spanish Tax ID Number
Sometimes, Spanish authorities ask for additional information from the recipient and it’s quite common for couriers to ask for the recipient's Tax ID before delivering their parcel. This could be if the item is over €150 in value or needs additional checks at customs.
It’s a good idea to let your recipient know that you may need their ID to send your parcel to them. This means they won’t be surprised by any ID requests further down the line and you’ll reduce the chance of their parcel being held up at customs.
EU Customs Changes: What the New €3 Duty Means for Your Shipments
From 1 July 2026, the EU is introducing a flat €3 customs duty on individual items valued under €150, shipped from outside the EU. Crucially, the charge applies per product type within a parcel — not per parcel. Send a package containing a shirt, a phone case and a book, and you're looking at €9 in duty, not €3.
What you need to know:
Ship before 1 July 2026 to avoid the new charges on eligible consignments
Shipments over €150 are not subject to this flat levy — but will still need to pay standard customs duty rates
Private gifts between individuals valued under €45 remain exempt — find out more about customs & VAT
Business senders should use Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) at checkout — this settles all duties upfront so your recipient receives their parcel without unexpected charges at the door
For businesses and eCommerce sellers shipping regularly to EU customers, the per-item duty structure means costs can stack up quickly. Using DDP keeps the delivery experience smooth for your customers and reduces the risk of parcels being held at customs due to unpaid charges.

What Are the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR)?
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) came into effect on 13 December 2024, introducing updated product safety requirements for goods sold or shipped to the EU and Northern Ireland (NI).
If you're a UK business or online seller sending parcels internationally, the regulations may apply to your shipment. One of the main requirements is appointing a Responsible Person based in the EU or NI to oversee product compliance and safety. Products and packaging may also need to meet updated GPSR labelling requirements before they can be placed on the market.
Checking whether your goods comply with GPSR before booking international delivery can help avoid delays, returns or customs issues.
How does customs work when shipping to Spain from the UK?
Sending a parcel to Spain from the UK has a few more steps, but don’t worry, Parcel2Go are experts at international shipping.
Your shipment to Spain will be subject to EU VAT unless it is a gift up to the value of €45. It’s important to know that the value includes the cost of shipping. So if you send a book that costs £12 and shipping costs £10.50, the total value is £22.50, which means you won't have to pay any EU VAT on your parcel delivery to Spain.
If your shipment to Spain is subject to EU VAT, the rate you’ll have to pay is around 21%. You’ll usually have to pay this if you’re either:
sending a parcel worth more than €45
sending directly from a marketplace such as Amazon or eBay
a business sender, shipping for commercial reasons
If you’re a business sender, take a look at your options for shipping to Spain and find more helpful information on Spanish Customs and VAT for businesses. And don’t forget our customer service team work 24/7 and are always happy to help!
