About Spain
The largest country in southern Europe, Spain – officially the Kingdom of Spain – is the only European country to share a border with Africa on account of Morocco. Spanish is the nation’s official language, but many denizens also speak English fluently. Additionally, Catalan, Basque, Galician and Aranese (regional patoises of Spanish) are also spoken in certain areas.
Spain enjoys a rich culture and stunning landscape. Golden beaches hug the shores and buildings dating back to ancient times still stand in some places.

Spain Luggage Shipping Tips
- Secure the right visas before booking shipments to Spain! Then deal with shipping luggage after.
- Work with a luggage shipping service (like Stasher). Doing it yourself can quickly become a nightmare.
- Get multiple quotes and use them as negotiating tools.
- Pack carefully and use plenty of padding. Although shippers are extremely careful, things can get tossed around in transit.
Shipping Bicycles to Spain
To ship a bike internationally, you’ll need to disassemble it, which can be done at home or at a repair shop. Once that’s done, the shipping cost is often less than people assume. Please be aware that it can take two to ten days to get a bike to Spain, depending on its point of origin.
Prohibited Items, Non-Compensation Items and Packaging
Need to ship your clothes and personal belongings to Spain? Some supplies, books, dishes and lamps? Stasher’s got your back. If, however, you want to ship firearms or live animals, you’ll need to look elsewhere. Other prohibited items include:
- Aerosol sprays
- Perishable foods
- Edible pet products
- Cash, debit and credit cards
- Hazardous materials
- Medicines
- Liquids
- Confidential personal documents like passports and birth certificates
- Plants
Every country has a list of prohibited items. If you don’t want your shipment to be stuck in customs, find out what they are and don’t pack them!
The best types of packaging to use when shipping your luggage are strong suitcases that can afford to be knocked around a bit and double-walled cardboard boxes. For delicate items, use bubble wrap, newspapers and packing noodles as padding.
Spanish Customs Regulations
Spain is a part of the European Union, so if you’re shipping from another EU nation, there won’t be any import levies. Individuals outside the EU like the United States, Australia, Africa, Asia and the Middle East may incur some duties, depending on the load size.
