What is the Cheapest Way to Ship to Spain 

Spain maintains strong connections with Britain because many US citizens choose to work, study, and reside there. The presence of these British communities increased the total shipping volume to Spain from the United States. 

Below, we examine shipping options from multiple trusted companies to help you decide how to send your parcel to Spain at a low cost and with quick delivery. 

Shipping to Spain with USPS

USPS provides top courier services between the USA and Spain at both budget-friendly and fast delivery rates. Their Priority Mail Express International service costs $93 while delivering your package to Spain within 5 working days when you need urgent shipment. 

You can ship packages internationally through Priority Mail International at $69 to reach a destination within 5 business days. Customers rely on these shipping services to ship internationally with assurance because both services provide accurate tracking information and suitable options for personal and corporate needs.

Shipping to Spain with UPS

UPS offers the Expedited shipping service, which remains the fastest regular courier option for package delivery. The service works well for transit during emergencies and secure package shipments. You have to pay more for fast shipping services. 

UPS Worldwide Expedited ship packages to Spain within three days. A 0.5-pound package to Spain costs around $40.90 within the US.

The UPS Worldwide Expedited system delivers various package sizes up to 70kg of weight. Customers often find this service offers the cheapest rates and best results while shipping packages up to 60 lbs.

Shipping to Spain with FedEx

FedEx serves customers in multiple markets as it handles lightweight and heavyweight parcels weighing up to 68 kilograms with dimensions of no more than 130 inches. FedEx allows clients to monitor their package status using a single tracking ID system. FedEx has two options that are convenient for shipping items to Spain. 

FedEx International Priority costs more than their Economy shipping service. You receive faster package delivery with this service option. FedEx provides direct delivery services to your doorstep upon demand. Your package reaches Spain in 3 to 7 working days through Standard shipping. FedEx handles large packages efficiently at low prices while delivering service rapidly. You need $42.21 for 0.5 kg packages, $50.25 for packages up to 4.5 kg, and $244.65 for large deliveries up to 20kg.

FedEx International Economy enables less expensive package shipping at a longer shipping duration. Like FedEx International Priority, the service maintains equal size and weight boundaries. Using this service means your packages will reach Spain in 4 to 7 business days. The shipping charges rise with package weight. For example, a 0.5 kg package costs $36.75, a 4.5 kg package costs $48.75, and a 20 kg package costs $175.74.

How Long Does it Take to Ship to Spain

Shipping through Standard and Express services takes 5-6 working days, while the slower economy shipping needs 14-21 days for travel from the US to Spain. Using standard delivery services helps you save money while waiting longer to receive your items. 

Through Shpixiy, customers can get their shipments to Spain within 1-2 working days through our expedited discounted courier services. Expect your large package shipment to Spain to require 3 to 4 working business days for delivery. 

How Much it Will Cost to Ship to Spain 

The cost to send packages to Spain depends on your shipment dimensions, weight, and selection of shipping services and delivery carriers. You can send goods from the US to Spain at a starting price of $25. Simply use our shipping calculator to see rates from different shipping companies at once. 

Custom Rules and Prohibited Items to Ship to Spain

To ship from the USA to Spain, you must fill out a customs declaration that states what is inside your package and its purpose, along with its total worth. Customers need to print archived documents provided in our booking process and place them inside their package for shipment.

Make sure you enter precise details because Spain's customs department uses this data to determine import duties and taxes while conducting random inspections. Packets ordered with undeclared information will require more time for processing and quality control procedures.

Prohibited Items 

Review the list of items below which are restricted for import to Spain:

  • Products with copper sulfate in toys and games are banned
  • The product combines a plastic, paper, or fabric sheath with an inside metal blade
  • Illegal narcotics and drugs
  • Asbestos fibers
  • Rubber erasers look and feel just like food items people can eat are banned
  • Thermometers contain mercury to measure human body temperature
  • Regular shipments must exclude liquids, aerosols, nail polish, and food items

You need both an import license from the Spanish Health Ministry and permission from Spanish authorities to import cosmetics and jewelry into the nation's market, respectively.
