Importing a Vehicle to Cambre: Download Your Customs Authorization Template (Word/PDF)

Bringing a vehicle into Spain from outside the EU involves navigating complex customs procedures. To clear your car through customs, you must grant a customs agent or representative the legal power to act on your behalf before the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria). This document, known as the Autorización para el Despacho de Aduanas, is a mandatory requirement to ensure your vehicle is legally cleared for road use in Cambre.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Cambre

While the actual customs clearance is handled electronically through the AEAT (Agencia Tributaria) portal using a digital certificate, you must provide this signed authorization to your chosen customs broker or shipping agent. In the context of Cambre, follow these steps:

• Digital Submission: Most customs agents will require you to upload a scanned, signed copy of this document to their secure client portal.
• AEAT Portal: If you are managing the import yourself, you will need to register the authorization through the "Sede Electrónica" of the Spanish Tax Agency using your Cl@ve PIN or Digital Certificate.
• Local Contact: Although Cambre is an inland municipality, you will likely be working with a customs office located at the Port of A Coruña or the Alvedro Airport (nearby), as these are the primary entry points for the A Coruña province.

Additional documentation required

To successfully import your vehicle and register it in Cambre, you will need to complement the authorization with the following documents:

• Proof of Ownership: Original purchase invoice or bill of sale.
• Technical Specifications: The original vehicle registration document from the country of origin (e.g., V5C for the UK).
• Single Administrative Document (SAD): Issued by the customs office once the taxes are paid.
• Technical Inspection (ITV): You will need to take the vehicle to an ITV station (the closest to Cambre is in Bergondo or A Coruña) to obtain the Spanish "Ficha Técnica".
• Tax Payments: Proof of payment of the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Model 576) and proof of payment of the municipal road tax (IVTM) at the Cambre Town Hall (Concello de Cambre).

Expert Tip: Always keep a digital copy of your signed authorization in a secure cloud folder. When dealing with Spanish bureaucracy, ensure that the power of attorney provided to your customs agent is signed with a blue pen to make it easily distinguishable from a photocopy. If you are moving to Cambre from a non-EU country, check if you qualify for an exemption from import duties under the "transfer of residence" rules, as this can save you a significant amount of money.
