How to export Chapter 87 products from Spain

Chapter 87 is not one product: it spans complete vehicles, chassis, bodies, components and accessories across sixteen different headings. Your first step is to identify which heading matches what you export. The list on this page shows all sixteen; each links to its own detailed page with the subheadings and examples that apply to your goods.

Once you know your heading, you need the tariff code—not just the heading, but the full subpartida. Tariffs for Chapter 87 vary significantly by destination and by the specific classification of the part or vehicle. Access2Markets will show you the applicable duty rate from Spain to any country you choose, including any preferential rates under trade agreements.

Spain exports vehicles and parts to most major markets. Your largest single destination is not the same as the largest importer of Chapter 87 globally: check the import data for your specific product and destination to understand the real demand. Trade fairs listed on this page are where the sector meets; many exporters use them to find buyers and understand local requirements.

Technical standards and homologation rules depend on your destination. The European Union has its own type-approval system; other markets like the United States or China have different requirements. Confirm what applies before you quote or ship. Your chamber of commerce or a trade advisor familiar with your destination can point you to the official requirements.
