Various types of parcels can be shipped from the United States to Spain. These can be commercial goods or personal items – the destination doesn’t matter. However, it’s important to comply with legal requirements when processing customs documents. TRT Express, a logistics company, can ensure these conditions. Through our partner, shipping to Spain from the United States will be completed with minimal risk and within the specified timeframe. And that’s not the only advantage of shipping through a logistics company.

Furthermore, our terms of cooperation are transparent; clients can choose the type of shipping and track the status of their parcels. We monitor changes in laws governing cargo delivery, ensuring accurate documentation.
Parcel import into this country is regulated by EU regulations. Therefore, to send a parcel to Spain from the United States, you must meet a number of requirements:
- declare each item in the parcel;
- pay tax if the value of the shipment exceeds the duty-free limit;
- ship only permitted goods.
Perishable goods, over-the-counter medications, flammable substances and aerosols, alcohol, and tobacco products in industrial quantities are prohibited for import.
Violating this restriction or failing to indicate the exact value of the items in the parcel will result in it being detained at customs, subject to a fine, or returned to the sender.
Each carrier has its own restrictions. Be sure to familiarize yourself with them to ensure you send your parcel to Spain without overpayments and hassle. It’s important to keep in mind that in addition to the actual weight, volumetric weight is also taken into account. This also affects the shipping price. Standard restrictions include a box weight of up to 30 kg and a maximum of 300 cm for the sum of its dimensions. Exact parameters are listed on the website.
If larger or heavier parcels, or larger quantities of goods, are to be shipped, TRT Express ships such cargo via sea freight.
The shipping cost is calculated individually. The cost of shipping to Spain from the USA depends on various factors:
- package dimensions and weight;
- presence of insurance;
- delivery method.
For example, air freight is more expensive. However, with this method, the parcel will be delivered in 7-14 days. A cheaper alternative is sea freight, but the waiting time is 4-8 weeks.
TRT Express’s shipping process is organized so that customers spend minimal time on processing. Simply enter the recipient’s address, pay, and deliver the parcel to our warehouse. We then handle all the hassle of shipping to Spain:
- check dimensions;
- repackage to reduce volumetric weight, thereby lowering shipping costs;
- consolidate;
- load onto a plane or ship;
- handle customs documentation.
After shipping parcels from the USA is completed, the parcel is sent to the recipient by courier or mail.
Shipping to Spain from the USA involves multiple movements of cargo – both manually and mechanically. The safety and cost of the shipment depend on how it is packaged. Therefore, it is important to use high-quality packaging. Thick cardboard boxes are best. Any empty spaces should be filled with foam, paper, or bubble wrap to secure the contents.
Also, it’s important to choose the right size packaging. It’s important to ensure it’s not too tight, as this will tear, and it’s not too large, as this will add bulk. Shipping boxes to Spain from the USA is done carefully, but it’s important to understand that there may be risks during handling. Therefore, the packaging must be sturdy and securely sealed with wide tape.
TRT Express customers often have questions about shipping arrangements. We’ll cover the most common:
Yes. You must register on the website to do this. Your parcel status will be displayed in your personal account after shipping.
Fragile items must be properly packaged – individually, wrapped in several layers of soft material. You can also order additional packaging so our staff can select protective materials and mark the parcel with special care.
