Back to news... 19 February 2025 Do I require commercial invoices to ship to Spain?
When shipping goods from the UK to Spain, you are required to generate a commercial invoice with your shipment. This is essential for customs clearance, providing authorities with detailed information about the contents, value, and nature of the goods being transported. The commercial invoice assists in assessing duties and taxes applicable to your shipment, which are usually payable by the receiver.
Key Points:
-
Mandatory Documentation: A commercial invoice is mandatory for all cross-border shipments, excluding documents sent using our document service.
-
Post-Brexit Requirements: Since the UK's departure from the EU, shipments to EU countries like Spain necessitate a commercial invoice to clear customs.
-
Information to Include: The commercial invoice should detail the shipper and receiver's contact information, a comprehensive description of the goods, their value, quantity, weight and the country of origin. By ensuring that you have entered accurate shipment information, you facilitate smoother customs clearance and help avoid potential delays or additional charges when sending goods to Spain.
-
Printing Requirements: It is not necessary to print commercial invoices when booking your parcel to Spain using Worldwide Parcel Services, as during your booking, when you enter the content information, our website automatically generates a commercial invoice and sends it electronically to the courier.
