Key restrictions and notes for shipping parcels from Hong Kong to Spain
1. Item eligibility: Most products can be shipped from Hong Kong to Spain, including clothing, hats, liquids, and food. International courier charges are based on the greater of volumetric weight and actual weight. Volumetric weight formula: Length × Width × Height / 5000 (cm).
2. Prohibited items: Do not ship illegal drugs, offensive weapons, compressed gases, animals/plants, precious metals, obscene materials, herbal products, alcohol and flammables, frozen foods, meat and dairy products, and other prohibited goods. (The prohibited list may be updated from time to time. Please contact customer service for the latest details.)
3. Sensitive items: We can arrange shipping to Spain for medicines, liquids (such as cosmetics), and products containing batteries. You do not need to separate sensitive goods and regular goods into different parcels. Before shipping these items, please contact our support team with product details (for example, photos) so we can suggest the best route. Please allow additional transit time, as these items often require longer transport and customs handling.
4. Protective packaging: For high-value or fragile items, reinforced packaging is recommended to reduce damage risk.
5. Shipping insurance: For higher-value goods, consider transport insurance. The premium is 5% of item value, and an official invoice for the insured goods is required.
6. Import tax: Parcels shipped from Hong Kong to Spain may be subject to customs duty and VAT (IVA). Under Spain import rules, VAT applies when shipment value exceeds EUR 22, and both duty and VAT may apply when value exceeds EUR 150.
VAT (IVA): Spain’s standard VAT rate is 21% and applies to most goods. VAT is calculated on the customs value, which generally includes item value, shipping cost, and any customs duty.
Customs duty: Rates vary by product category, typically from 0% to 17%. For example, electronics may have lower rates while textiles may be higher. Exact rates depend on Spain customs tariff codes.
With PotatoShip, most routes already include relevant taxes, so recipients usually do not need to pay extra import charges upon delivery.
