Importing a Car to Castrojeriz: Official Customs Authorization Template (Download)
Moving to the beautiful town of Castrojeriz with a vehicle from outside the European Union requires navigating Spanish customs bureaucracy. To clear your vehicle through customs, you must grant a customs agent or representative legal power to act on your behalf. This document, known as the Autorización para el Despacho de Aduanas, is the essential legal instrument that allows a professional to handle your import paperwork with the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria). Below, you will find the official template required to get your vehicle registered and legally on the road.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Castrojeriz
Because Castrojeriz is a municipality in the province of Burgos, you do not submit customs paperwork directly at the town hall. Customs procedures are centralized at the national level through the Agencia Tributaria (AEAT).
- Digital Submission: The most efficient way to submit this is via the AEAT Electronic Office (Sede Electrónica) using a digital certificate or Cl@ve PIN.
- Customs Agent: If you have hired a professional customs broker (which is highly recommended for non-EU imports), they will provide you with their specific EORI number to fill into the template.
- Local Burgos Office: For physical inquiries regarding your tax status or vehicle registration after customs clearance, you can visit the Delegación de la Agencia Tributaria en Burgos.

Additional documentation required
To successfully clear your vehicle, the customs authority will require more than just the authorization letter. Ensure you have the following documents ready in digital or physical format:
- Proof of Ownership: The original purchase invoice or bill of sale.
- Vehicle Registration Certificate: The original registration document from the country of origin.
- Identification: A copy of your NIE (Foreigner Identity Number) or valid passport.
- Technical Specifications: A technical data sheet (Ficha Técnica) if available, or the manufacturer's certificate of conformity.
- Proof of Value: Evidence of the vehicle's current market value to calculate the appropriate import duties.
Expert Tip: Before initiating the customs process, ensure your vehicle meets the European emissions standards (Euro 6). If the car does not comply with EU technical regulations, you may face significant hurdles or be unable to register the vehicle in Spain at all. Always consult with a local Gestoría in Burgos before shipping the vehicle to avoid unexpected storage fees at the port of entry.
