Why a specialist agent

The USA-to-Spain route combines four distinct disciplines: shipping logistics, US export, Spanish customs and DGT homologation. Confusion at any handoff costs weeks or thousands of euros.

What a specialist handles

  • VIN check and EU eligibility verification.
  • RoRo or container shipping arrangement.
  • US export paperwork and EIN if required.
  • Spanish customs (FTR + DUA), duty and VAT.
  • Engineering and homologation report.
  • ITV, IEDMT and DGT registration.

Typical fixed price

From €1,500 to €2,500 for the Spanish portion (excluding shipping). Adding shipping: €1,500–€3,000 depending on port and container choice.

How the schedule looks

  • Weeks 0–4: shipping.
  • Weeks 4–6: Spanish customs.
  • Weeks 6–9: homologation.
  • Weeks 9–12: ITV, IEDMT and DGT.
