The cost to ship a Bring-a-Trailer vehicle from the USA to Spain runs from $1,250 (New Jersey to Valencia, 24 to 30 days) to $3,850 (California to Valencia, 30 days) per car in a shared container.

SHIPPING TIMES TO SPAIN

Cars take about 24 to 30 days from New Jersey and 30 days from California to Valencia. The calculator gives the time for your lane.

ADDITIONAL COSTS TO CONSIDER

  • Vehicle Collection: Additional fees may apply for nationwide U.S. pickup from the Bring-a-Trailer seller to our export warehouses.
  • Spain Import Duties & IVA: EU duty on cars is normally 10%. Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 allows 0% on US-built cars from July 1 2026, but the customs office handling the import decides, and current guidance ties it to a certificate of origin, usually available for new cars, not for a 30-year-old classic. Original cars over 30 years old can enter as collectors' items (heading 9705), a separate route. IVA applies on top.
  • Cargo Damage Protection: Optional cover for loss or damage during international transport.

Protect Your Bring-a-Trailer Purchase During Shipping to Spain

Protect your Bring-a-Trailer vehicle while it's being shipped from the USA to Spain with our optional Cargo Damage Protection. It covers your auction purchase from the moment it is loaded at our US warehouse until it arrives at the Spanish port and is handed over to our import agent.

Most standard auto policies do not cover international car shipping, so we recommend coverage for classic cars, collector vehicles and high-value cars commonly purchased on Bring-a-Trailer. Our policy covers container and RoRo car transport to Spanish ports.

If you decline Cargo Damage Protection, our liability is capped at $500 per package under the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act.

RoRo Shipping to Spain for Oversized Vehicles

RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) shipping from the USA to Spain is often a practical option for transporting oversized vehicles and heavy machinery purchased on Bring-A-Trailer that may not fit inside a standard container. Vehicles are driven on and off the vessel under their own power, which can simplify port handling for certain shipments.

Key RoRo Details

  • Best suited for oversized trucks, buses, motorhomes, construction equipment, tractors, and heavy machinery purchased on Bring-a-Trailer
  • Drive-on/drive-off loading minimizes crane handling, but vehicles are not enclosed in their own container
  • Schedules and pricing depend on unit size, port pair, and vessel availability; RoRo service to Spain may run less frequently than container options on some routes
  • For high-value or low-clearance classic vehicles from Bring-a-Trailer, enclosed container shipping may still be recommended despite higher cost

BRING-A-TRAILER SPAIN IMPORT DOCUMENTS

Documents Needed to Ship a Bring-A-Trailer Vehicle from the USA to Spain

What paperwork do I need to import a Bring-A-Trailer car into Spain?

Shipping a vehicle purchased on Bring-A-Trailer from the USA to Spain typically involves U.S. export clearance and Spanish import customs. Below are the key documents commonly needed to complete bring a trailer shipping to Spain and move toward clearance and registration.

Vehicle Documentation for Shipping a Bring-a-Trailer car from USA to Spain:

  • Original Vehicle Title (with lien release letter if applicable)
  • Bill of Sale for the vehicle
  • Power of Attorney form
  • Completed Online Shipping Form
Personal Documentation:
  • Copy of Passport (for non-US citizens)
  • Copy of EIN Letter (for US citizens)

For classic cars: Original cars over 30 years old can enter the EU as collectors' items (heading 9705), a separate route from standard cars. Keep documents that show the build date and that the car is in its original condition. The 0% EU duty on US-built cars is not automatic: the customs office decides, and it usually needs a certificate of origin, which a 30-year-old classic rarely has.

Our own team prepares the Bring-A-Trailer international shipping Spain export documents, and an import agent in Spain handles Spanish customs clearance (including the DUA) and the papers you need for matriculación registration via DGT.

  • Vehicle identification details (VIN confirmation and supporting photos as needed)

    - Homologation / conformity documentation where required
    - Historic vehicle attestation route for eligible collector vehicles (often 30+ years old)

Spain Registration Requirements:

  • Submit the registration application via DGT for matriculación issuance
  • Provide supporting customs clearance documentation and proof of ownership
  • Complete any required conformity steps before registration can be finalized (varies by vehicle and age)
