Shipping Sporting Equipment To Spain

Spain is one of the most popular destinations in Europe for adventurous golfing holidays. As well, it is a country rich in beautiful countryside and bicycle-friendly cities. Thankfully, My Baggage can help you to easily transport your oversized items such as golf clubs and bicycles to Spain, without having to worry about renting equipment when you get there, or having to pay extortionate oversized baggage fees on you flight.

Shipping Musical Instruments To Spain

Similarly, you may want to bring your musical instrument with you to Spain. Musical instruments can be difficult to carry with you on a flight, especially as most airlines require you to purchase an additional seat. With My Baggage, you can avoid these additional costs with your airline by transporting your instrument with us.

We help you to avoid extortionate overweight baggage fees from your airline, as well as having to haul your bulky items from home and through train stations, taxis and airports. My Baggage transports your oversized items quickly, safely and affordably.

Prohibited and Non-Compensation Items

My Baggage gives you the freedom to ship your personal belongings all over the world, meaning you can send almost everything you would typically find in a standard holiday suitcase. However, for security and customs reasons, there are certain items which are prohibited and cannot be carried; as is standard with most shipping companies.

As a general rule, you can be sure that the following items are prohibited:

• Aerosols
• Animal Products
• Cash, Credit Cards, Debit Cards
• Dangerous Goods
• Hazardous Goods
• Liquids
• Medicines
• Passports or other confidential personal documentation
• Perishable Foods
• Plants

It is important to note that there are also a number of items that can be carried on our services, however, they would be sent at your own risk as they are not covered under compensation cover. If you choose to send any non-compensation items, please ensure that they are packaged appropriately, with plenty of internal packaging for fragile items.

Find out more about My Baggage’s prohibited and non-compensation items.

As import allowances, security and customs processes differ all around the world; we recommend that you do your own personal research into what may be prohibited in your destination country before booking your My Baggage shipment to Spain.

What type of packaging can be used?

When sending your belongings to Spain with My Baggage, we recommend using either suitcases or strong cardboard boxes to package your items so as they are suitable for transit.

We advise against using fragile or expensive suitcases, as packaging is not covered under our compensation cover. With regards to boxes, it’s always best to invest in a new, sturdy, double-walled cardboard box as they are most durable and suitable for transit.

If you are sending fragile or delicate items, we recommend using internal packaging to protect them during transit. You can use materials such as bubble wrap or newspapers.

You can read through our complete packaging guide to find out more.

Spanish Customs Information

When shipping from Spain to the UK or anywhere else in the EU, goods do not pass through customs clearance and therefore are not subject to import or tax duty. If, however, you’re sending to Spain from a country outside of the EU, such as Canada or the USA, you are then legally required to complete and send a customs invoice with your shipment.

Whether you are simply sending personal effects or a gift to a loved one; if your shipment does not have a customs invoice attached, it will not make it past your local country border, and you may have to pay return charges to get it back. My Baggage will automatically provide you with the appropriate customs documents for you to print, sign and attach to your shipment when you send luggage to Spain from outside the EU.

Generally, My Baggage shipments clear customs in a timely manner, free from duties and taxes, as most countries offer a generous duty-free allowance for personal effects. However, as customs processes and allowances are different around the world, and because My Baggage has no direct association with any customs authority; we do advise doing your own personal research into Spanish customs regulations and quarantine before booking your shipment to Spain from outside of the EU. Please make yourself aware of potential customs duties in Spain and follow any advice provided by customs.

When completing your customs documents, it is important to do so properly and clearly. In order to demonstrate that your shipment consists of personal effects, you will be required to accurately describe each item included in the package. For example, you would declare: “4 x t-shirts, 2 x pairs of jeans, 3 x dresses” etc, as opposed to “10 x clothing”.

5 Tips For Shipping To Spain

• Do your research on Spanish quarantine and customs.
• Find a reputable international removals/shipping service.
• Don’t stop there, either – obtain more than one quote and compare!
• Choose a service with transit times that best suit your needs.
• Package all items securely with plenty of internal cushioning.

Other Methods Of Shipping To Spain

Transporting your luggage with My Baggage isn’t the only way to send all of your worldly belongings to Spain. There are other options available that may better suit your needs, depending on the reasons for your travels. Here are just a few alternative options:

International Removals To Spain

Thinking of relocating to Spain permanently? You might consider sending all of your essential belongings with an international removals company. This method of shipping allows you to transport all of your luggage – including larger, bulkier items such as furniture – in one single go, and they can be there to meet you at your destination!

Sea Freight To Spain

If you need to send a number of large items to Spain that may be otherwise difficult to transport – perhaps a sofa, a fridge or even your car – you might consider sea freight as a shipping option. Although typically a reasonably priced option, sea freight can be an exceptionally slow voyage, meaning you could be without your belongings for quite some time. Depending on the route of your shipment, you could be waiting for up to two months for your items to arrive. You will also need to consider the transportation of your items to and from ports, both departing and upon arrival in Spain, which can be rather costly.

Air Freight To Spain

Similar to sea freight, air freight allows you to easily transport exceptionally large, bulky items to Spain. Although a much faster option of transportation; air freight tends to be the more expensive option of the two, as it is charged by weight and volume. Again, you will also need to consider the transportation of your items to and from airports.
