How to Authorize Customs Clearance for Importing a Car to Hontalbilla (Template Download)

Importing a vehicle into Spain requires navigating complex customs procedures. If you are moving to or purchasing a car from outside the EU and bringing it to a location like Hontalbilla, you will need to grant a customs agent the legal authority to act on your behalf. This authorization, known as an Autorización de Despacho de Aduanas, is a mandatory document that allows a professional broker to represent you before the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria) to settle import duties and VAT.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Hontalbilla

Since Hontalbilla is a municipality in the province of Segovia, you will not find a customs office directly within the town. Customs clearance must be performed at the official Port of Entry or the nearest Inland Customs Office (Aduana) where the vehicle physically enters Spanish territory or arrives via transport.

Step 1: Download and complete the template provided below.
Step 2: Sign the document with a digital signature (Certificado Digital) or a wet-ink signature if requested by your broker.
Step 3: Send the document to your assigned customs agent (agente de aduanas). They will upload this authorization into the Aduanet system, which is the electronic platform used by the Spanish government to manage imports.
Step 4: Once the agent has the authorization, they will handle the DUA (Documento Único Administrativo) filing on your behalf.

Additional documentation required

To ensure your customs clearance proceeds without delays, you must prepare the following documents to accompany your authorization:

Proof of Ownership: The original purchase invoice or bill of sale showing the transaction value.
Vehicle Registration Documents: The original registration document from the country of origin (e.g., Title, Registration Certificate).
Identification: A clear copy of your passport or NIE/DNI.
Proof of Transfer (if applicable): If you are moving to Spain as a resident, you may be exempt from import taxes; you will need to provide a certificate of "change of residence" (certificado de baja consular) to prove you owned the car for at least six months prior to moving.

Expert Tip: Always keep a digital copy of the signed authorization for your personal records. If you are importing a non-EU vehicle, be aware that you must also pass the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) in Spain before you can obtain your final Spanish license plates. Engaging a professional customs broker early in the process is the best way to avoid heavy fines or the impounding of your vehicle at the port due to administrative errors.
