How to import from China to Spain?

2023-09-02 09:55


When importing from China to Spain, if it is on your own, you must know perfectly all the procedures, processes and administrative bureaucracy, in order to avoid incidents. 

Most of the incidents occur both with the product obtained and with the documentation that must be verified prior payment to the manufacturers.  The rate of incidents, return of goods, customs expenses not contemplated and destruction of thousands of imports due to lack of import knowledge exceeds one million per year.

Knowing the cost of an import is not a guarantee that the import will be a success. An import will be a success if in addition to knowing the cost of the import, you know 100% that all the documentation of the supplier, product and importer comply with the requirements of the product at EU level and also of the country of destination, in this case Spain, since in Spain, there are control and regulatory bodies that have independent standards to the rest of the EU countries.

In addition, it is necessary, depending on the product to be imported, to have specific and special import licenses according to the product, the most common being the license for food products, the import license for cosmetics, the import license for electrical and electronic products, the import license for medical products, the import license for toys, the import license for textile products and the import license for sanitary products. There is a wide variety of import licenses depending on the product to be imported.

Products, depending on their end use, must comply with a series of regulations, test reports and certificates. This is where we find the greatest number of incidents. Many certificates are completely false and do not comply with the applicable regulations and this is one of the most important points to deal with and verify when importing.

We are much more than a logistics and shipping company from China to Spain.

The service to import from China to Spain that we offer is much more than a mere transfer service. Most of the logistics and transport companies only transport a volume from one place to another, being you the one who has to be informed of the requirements that Customs in Spain request to import from China, i.e. tariffs and related taxes, but also, they cannot assure you that the documents provided by the manufacturer are valid or false, if they are valid or not and if they are sufficient to legalize the goods in Spain.

This is of vital importance, especially in sectors such as food, furniture, cosmetics, toys, battery products, medical devices, machinery and other sectors, where regulations and controls are quite complex even for the most experienced. China Latin offers integral solutions to SMEs and big companies carrying out all the processes without paperwork or formalities on their part to import from China to Spain and that would touch, between verifications of solvency, requests, negotiations, inspection in situ, recruitments, quality reports, management of payments and others, almost a score of processes.

One of the most common movements in the international trade scene is to buy from China and sell a certain type of product in Spain, a process that is not without its problems. In fact, a good percentage of businessmen dedicated to the international purchase and sale of products agree that importing from China to Spain can be tedious if they do not have the necessary advice or lack in-depth knowledge of the international purchase and sale market. Therefore, it is common to believe that, given the high costs, both human and economic, involved in dealing with delays in each incident that occurs, it is impossible to import cheaply from China, which stifles the ambitions of companies that have their sights set further afield.
