Icaru, Do you mean importing from USA to Spain or from Turkey to Spain or From USA t o Turkey. If you are importing for residency in Spain ( A non EU citizen)
The Spanish Government allows you to import your household effects and personal possessions free of customs duty. A one time situation if you are an official resident. However Spain being Spain it is not clear cut. I sugguest you get David Searls book on You & your law in Spain. I am not on commission.
I’ve now read online that we can import our furniture WITHOUT A RESIDENCE PERMIT if we obtain a bank guaranty (by depositing money) for the value set by the customs (approx 16%). Supposedly after 2 years we can get this money back if we can prove we still have the furniture and personal effects.
Asked 3 Spanish Consulates (via email), got no answers.
Anyone know if this is true or just hearsay? Asked my lawyer and he doesn’t know and didn’t bother to find out. Told me to ‘contact the Spanish Consulate ‘.
I fully understand why you are asking question and wanted to do things properly and in a planned way.
Take my advise. You will go nuts and not acheive anything. Be like others just go with the flow and have a “Que sera” attitude and if you got into bother have the Spanish attitude of “mala suerte”
Two years from now you will thank me for this advise.
