Importing a Car to Cabrojo: Download Your Customs Authorization Template (Word/PDF)
Importing a vehicle into Spain from outside the EU requires strict adherence to customs regulations. To navigate the bureaucratic process in Cabrojo and surrounding areas, you will need to grant a customs agent or representative the legal authority to act on your behalf before the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria). This template is designed to streamline your customs clearance process by providing a formal authorization document that satisfies local legal requirements.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Cabrojo
In Cabrojo, as in the rest of Cantabria, customs procedures are managed through the Spanish Tax Agency. You do not typically present this document in person at a local town hall, but rather via the following channels:
- Digital Submission: The most efficient way is through the "Sede Electrónica" of the Agencia Tributaria (AEAT) using a Digital Certificate or Cl@ve PIN.
- Customs Agent: If you have hired a professional customs broker (Agente de Aduanas), they will provide you with their specific reference number. You must fill out this template and provide it to them so they can upload it to the DUA (Documento Único Administrativo) system.
- Regional Customs Office: If you are required to visit an office in person, the nearest major customs department for the Cabrojo area is located in the Port of Santander. Always call ahead to verify if your specific import case requires an in-person appointment.

Additional documentation required
To ensure your import process in Cabrojo goes smoothly, you must accompany this authorization with the following documents:
- Original Vehicle Title/Registration: The official document showing ownership from the country of origin.
- Bill of Sale or Invoice: A document proving the purchase price, which is essential for calculating import duties and VAT (IVA).
- EORI Number: If you are importing as a business, you must have a valid EORI number. Individuals importing for personal use may use their NIE.
- Technical Specifications Sheet (Ficha Técnica): You will eventually need this from a local engineer (Ingeniero Industrial) to register the car in Spain after customs clearance.
Expert Tip: Always keep a digital scan of your signed authorization and the customs receipt (Levante). Once the goods are cleared, you will receive the "Levante" document; do not lose this, as it is the only proof that you can legally move the vehicle from the customs warehouse to your home in Cabrojo for the subsequent ITV (technical inspection) and registration process.
