Importing a Car to Torres de Barbues: Download Your Customs Authorization Template (Word/PDF)
Bringing a vehicle into Spain from outside the EU (or from specific territories like the Canary Islands) requires a formal customs clearance process. To allow a customs agent (Agente de Aduanas) to act on your behalf before the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria), you must provide a signed authorization. This article provides a legally compliant template to help you navigate this bureaucratic step efficiently while residing in or near Torres de Barbues.
Instructions on how and where to submit it in Torres de Barbues
Since Torres de Barbues is a smaller municipality in the province of Huesca, you will not find a direct customs office in the village itself. The customs clearance process is handled electronically through the Spanish Tax Agency’s digital portal (Sede Electrónica de la AEAT). Follow these steps:
- Digital Certificate: Ensure you have a valid Digital Certificate (Certificado Digital) or Cl@ve PIN to access the AEAT website.
- Appoint an Agent: You will typically hire a professional customs broker. They will provide you with their specific NIF (Tax ID).
- Submission: The authorization template provided below should be completed, signed, and sent to your customs agent via email or through the official customs platform (DUA submission).
- Local Procedures: Once the vehicle is cleared, you will still need to visit the local DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) office in Huesca to complete the final registration (Matriculación) and pay the local road tax (IVTM) at the Torres de Barbues town hall.

Additional documentation required
Beyond this authorization, you must have the following documents ready to ensure a smooth clearance:
- Original Purchase Invoice: Showing the transaction value of the vehicle.
- Vehicle Documentation: The original registration document (Title/Registration Certificate) from the country of origin.
- Proof of Identity: A copy of your NIE/DNI and your Empadronamiento certificate from the Torres de Barbues town hall.
- Technical Sheet (Ficha Técnica): Once the vehicle arrives, you will need to take it to an ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) station to obtain the Spanish technical specifications.
Expert Tip: Always verify that the customs agent you hire is registered in the official "Censo de Representantes Aduaneros." Furthermore, ensure that your vehicle meets the Euro emissions standards required for Spanish registration, as older vehicles may face significant tax penalties or registration restrictions. Keep digital copies of all signed documents for at least five years, as the Spanish Tax Agency may request them for audit purposes after the vehicle is registered.
