Spain is set to implement a sweeping update to its customs procedures with the entry into force of the new Customs Code Regulation on October 1, 2025. The government has finalized the regulation, completing the legal framework to modernize import and export operations across the country.
Aligned with two EU delegated regulations, the new framework ensures that Spanish customs practices meet European standards while introducing digital tools to simplify trade. Authorities have already tested and implemented the necessary technological changes with operators to guarantee a smooth transition.
The regulation is structured around eight key sections, covering customs duties, guarantees, the introduction of goods, their customs status, exemptions, special regimes, and the exit of merchandise from customs territory. Detailed annexes provide precise guidance on declarations, codes, and procedures for determining the origin of goods.
This update replaces ten previous regulations that applied the former Customs Code, consolidating rules and promoting a more efficient, transparent, and digital customs process. Officials say the move will reduce bureaucracy, speed up compliance, and make it easier for traders to navigate import and export requirements.
Spain’s trade sector now has a clear path forward as the country embraces a modern, EU-aligned customs system, making cross-border transactions faster, more reliable, and fully digital.
