Mrs Ann Newman-Young

A good value parcel

Very good found a very good price to return an item to India and was kept informed along the way and when it was delivered from the parcel company.

Wayne Johns

Couldn't have gone smoother.

Service was impeccable. Driver turned up to collect at correct time, despite potentially being a difficult place to find within the hospital. Driver was very smart and polite. Tracking was updated regularly and delivery on date as expected.

The best prices for shipping a parcel to Spain

Parcelhero works with the best couriers in the world to offer great prices on shipping to destinations throughout Spain. When shipping to destinations like Barcelona, you get savings of up to 77% and still get to enjoy that your parcel is in the hands of some of the best couriers in the world.

Keep in mind, however, that if you are shipping to a remote area such as the Basque country instead of Madrid, there may be extra charges for your delivery, which will be included in your quote once you enter a destination address. You can find out more about these charges on our Remote Area Surcharges page.

It's also important to know that if you would like to send a parcel to Tenerife or the other Canary Islands, they are treated separately to Spain by couriers. As such, you'll need to visit our Canary Islands page to find out more about shipping to them.

Customs charges when sending to Spain

When you ship a parcel to Spain from the UK it will have to pass through Customs, and you or the receiver will need to pay duties and taxes, and your items may be liable for VAT. If you are exporting to Spain from a country within the European Union, such as Portugal, you won't need worry about the duties and fees associated with clearing Customs.

What can I send to Spain?

Parcelhero can help you ship all manner of items to Spain, but there are some goods that are restricted from entering the country. If you are looking to move to Spain and you want to ship personal possessions there, be aware that additional documentation may be required, including proof of ID, such as a passport.

If you're a businessman sending samples, beware of Spain's unusual restrictions on these goods. You won't need to pay duties or taxes, but your goods may be modified so as not to be completely functional - like drilling a hole in the soles of a pair of shoe samples.

The Agencia Tributaria, which oversees Spain’s Customs, has a limited English-language website, where you can find information and official forms.

Don't forget that Parcelhero is here to make things as simple as possible. That's why, if you're shipping to Spain from countries outside the EU, such as the UK, we generate all the paperwork that you need for your shipment to enter the country safe and sound.

Sending parcels to the EU has got more expensive and more data-heavy this year. Here is what you need to know.

1 July 2026: the EU introduced a flat €3 customs duty on most business-to-consumer (B2C) parcels worth €150 or less. The old duty-free treatment for low-value parcels has ended.

1 Nov 2026: three more changes arrive.

A new €2 EU handling fee per item, on top of the €3 duty.
Mandatory Product Identifiers (PIDs) for every item in a B2C parcel, whatever its value.
The new €2 handling fee applies to parcels over €150 too, although the €3 duty introduced in July does not.

Gifts: genuine personal gifts worth €45 or under, sent from one person to another, are still exempt from the €3 duty.

What's next? The EU is calling the current rules temporary. A full customs reform, including the removal of the €150 threshold, is expected around mid 2028.

For more information on the goods that you can and can't ship to Spain, have a look through Parcelhero's list of restricted and prohibited goods.

Can I ship guitars from Spain?

Spain makes some of the most famous guitars in the world, and while you can send these with Parcelhero, there is some risk involved. Musical instruments are excluded from insurance coverage, so they will not be reimbursed if they are damaged. Be sure to properly package your guitars if you are shipping them internationally.

Can I send sporting goods to the UK from Spain?

You can send sporting goods to the UK, and Parcelhero makes doing so simple. There’s no need to worry about memorabilia likes shirts from Real Madrid or A.C Milan either, just box them up and send them on their way.

Doing Business in Spain

As the fifth biggest market in the EU and one of the fastest growing, Spain is an appealing proposition for many small and medium business owners looking to expand. Since English is an accepted language for doing business throughout Spain, it’s considerably easier to establish yourself than in some of Spain’s European neighbours.]]

Leading UK exports to Spain include:

Aircraft and aircraft equipment
Alcoholic beverages - though you can’t send these with Parcelhero
Medical products and pharmaceuticals

How to address your parcel to Spain

When you ship to Spain, they have their own method of addressing parcels. The format used in Spain is as follows:

Mr John Smith [Name]
Carrer de Maria Cubi, 125, 3⁰ [Street name, house/building number, floor number]
08021, Barcelona [Postcode, city/town]
Spain [Country]

In Spain, a typical postcode is made up of five digits. The first two of those digits specify the region that the parcel is headed for, and the other three explain where in that region that code specifically for.

Sending Christmas presents to Spain

It's a Merry Christmas in Spain a little earlier than the for the rest of us, so don't get caught out. Spain celebrates the most wonderful time of the year just like the Dutch - on the fifth of December.

That means you'll have to get your parcels sent off even earlier if you'd like delivery in time for Christmas, since couriers don't deliver on national holidays. Keep that early Christmas in mind, along with other Spanish national holidays.
