Importing a Car to Suria: Download Your Customs Authorization Template (Word/PDF)
Bringing a vehicle into Spain from outside the European Union involves complex bureaucratic procedures. One of the most critical steps is the Customs Clearance process, which requires you to formally authorize a customs agent or a representative to act on your behalf before the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria). If you are residing in or moving to Suria, using this template will streamline your interaction with the authorities and ensure your paperwork is legally compliant.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Suria
This document is a "Representación Aduanera" (Customs Representation). In Spain, you cannot simply present documents; you must grant legal power to a customs broker to handle the DUA (Documento Único Administrativo). Follow these steps:
- Complete the Template: Fill in your personal details (NIE/DNI), the vehicle's VIN (Chassis number), and the details of your customs agent.
- Digital Signature: If you have a Cl@ve or Digital Certificate, you can submit this via the "Sede Electrónica" of the AEAT (Agencia Tributaria).
- Local Submission: While customs processes are centralized, if you are working with a local logistics firm near Suria or the port of Barcelona, they will require this signed document as a physical or scanned PDF original to initiate the import clearance.
- Verification: Ensure the agent signs the document as well, as it creates a binding legal relationship for the import process.

Additional documentation required
To successfully clear your vehicle in the Suria area, the customs authorities will require more than just the authorization form. You should have the following ready:
- Original Title/Registration: The original ownership document from the country of origin.
- Purchase Invoice: A bill of sale or proof of value for tax assessment purposes.
- Proof of Residency: Your "Empadronamiento" certificate from the Suria Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Súria), which is essential if you are claiming an exemption from import taxes due to a change of residence.
- Technical Specifications: A technical sheet (Ficha Técnica) issued by an authorized engineer if the vehicle does not have European Homologation.
Expert Tip: Always keep a certified copy of the customs clearance document (DUA) once it is processed. You will need this specific document to request your "ITV" (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) and eventually to obtain your Spanish license plates. Never attempt to drive a non-EU imported car in Spain without having initiated the customs process, as this can lead to heavy fines and the potential impounding of the vehicle by the Guardia Civil.
