The ports of Barcelona and Valencia in Spain have dense air routes, serving as the core gateway for brand shoes to enter the markets of southern Europe and Latin America. Brand shoes exported to Spain have significant differences from ordinary goods - Spanish customs have a SOIVRE special inspection mechanism for shoes and textiles, which may review the label and material compliance of each shoe one by one. Footwear products must comply with REACH regulatory testing requirements (phthalates, azo dyes, hexavalent chromium, nickel release, etc.), and children's shoes must comply with EN 14605 standard. In addition, footwear and textiles must also have a certificate of origin issued by the Spanish government. Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union will cancel the exemption of customs duties on packages worth 150 euros. Andaxun International Logistics provides full container load/consolidation, double clearance and tax inclusive, and door-to-door one-stop services.

2、 Customs clearance documents for shipping shoes from Shenzhen to Spain: Three major checkpoints in Spain

Level 1: EORI Number - Customs Clearance Admission Ticket

Spanish customs clearance requires a valid EORI number (format "ES"+NIF/CIF tax number). Foreign enterprise applications usually take 10 working days. Unnumbered goods cannot be cleared through customs.

Level 2: SOIVRE Special Inspection - Unique to Spain (Key)

SOIVRE is the official inspection agency in Spain, responsible for checking whether imported products comply with European safety, labeling, and compliance regulations. The import of footwear and textiles may trigger SOIVRE inspections, which include labeling, materials, and safety compliance. Each shoe may be reviewed one by one, rather than just sampled. When problems are found during inspection, the goods may be detained, rejected, or requested for re export, and the cost will be borne by the importer. Preparing labels and document compliance in advance is the key to avoiding inspections.

Level 3: REACH Compliance Testing - Footwear Entry Threshold

|Phthalate ester | ≤ 0.1% | PVC sole and upper|

|Azo dyes | ≤ 30mg/kg | Leather and textile dyeing|

|Hexavalent chromium | ≤ 3mg/kg | Leather products|

|Nickel release | ≤ 0.5 μ g/cm ²/week | Metal accessories|

|Formaldehyde | Infant and toddler shoes ≤ 20mg/kg | Leather, textile|

Different materials have different focuses: leather shoes are monitored with hexavalent chromium and azo dyes; Synthetic shoes focus on phthalates; Shoes with metal accessories must undergo nickel release testing. Children's shoes must comply with the EN 14605 standard (lead ≤ 90mg/kg, small accessory tensile strength ≥ 70N). It is recommended to complete REACH testing 2-3 months before shipment.

|Outer layer | Five layer double anti corrugated cardboard box (compressive strength ≥ 200kg), "I" - shaped box seal, tape ≥ 5cm|

Wooden packaging must have an IPPC fumigation label. Special requirements for Spanish labels（ ⚠️  SOIVRE Key Review):
