Importing a Car to Llerena: Download Your Customs Authorization Template (Word/PDF)
Bringing a vehicle into Spain from outside the EU (or from the Canary Islands, Ceuta, or Melilla) requires a formal customs clearance process. To allow a customs agent to act on your behalf before the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria), you must grant them legal power of attorney. This article provides a ready-to-use authorization template to streamline your paperwork in Llerena and ensure your vehicle import process goes smoothly.
How and Where to Submit Your Authorization in Llerena
The "Autorización para el Despacho de Aduanas" is a document that officially appoints a customs broker to represent you. Once you have completed the template below, you should follow these steps:
- Digital Submission: Most customs agents will require you to sign the document digitally using your Certificado Digital or Cl@ve PIN.
- Local Assistance: While customs clearance is a national process handled by the Agencia Tributaria, if you require administrative support in Llerena, you can visit the local Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano for general guidance on municipal vehicle registration taxes (IVTM).
- Customs Office: Your broker will submit this authorization electronically through the Sede Electrónica de la Agencia Tributaria. You do not need to physically take this paper to a border office; your broker handles the digital filing.

Additional Documentation Required
To successfully import your vehicle, this authorization is only the first step. Ensure you have the following documents ready for your customs agent:
- Original Purchase Invoice or Bill of Sale: Must clearly state the value of the vehicle.
- Vehicle Registration Certificate (Foreign Title): The original document from the country of origin.
- Certificate of Conformity (COC): Essential for proving the vehicle meets EU technical standards.
- Proof of Identity: A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
- Proof of Residence: An Empadronamiento certificate from the Llerena Town Hall to prove your legal address in Spain.
Expert Tip: Always verify if your vehicle is exempt from the "Impuesto de Matriculación" (Registration Tax) due to a change of residence (traslado de residencia). If you are moving to Spain, you may be able to import your car tax-free if you meet specific time requirements. Consult with your customs agent before submitting the final declaration to avoid unnecessary costs. Keep digital copies of all stamped documents, as you will need them later when visiting the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) to obtain your Spanish license plates.
