Can this car get in?
- • Who can import: Individuals (ID / residence proof and tax ID NIF) or companies (trade register RC, import-export number and NIF); a licensed customs broker is required
- • Pre-shipment inspection: PVCM (Bureau Veritas CoC)
- • PVCM pre-shipment conformity certification has been compulsory since 15 March 2023 — without the Bureau Veritas CoC the car faces heavy fines or cannot clear
- • Right-hand-drive cars are banned; left-hand drive only
- • The absolute age ban on used cars was lifted in 2021, but customs taxes on a minimum reference grid, so cars over 8 years cost much more
- • EV traction batteries need a UN 38.3 test report and the maker's certificate
