Let the spiciness and freshness ignite Iberia!

Spain is located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, and the ports of Barcelona and Valencia are important container gateways in southern Europe, radiating core consumer markets such as Madrid and Zaragoza. In recent years, Chinese cuisine culture has continued to heat up in Spain, and hot pot seasoning is not only a hot selling item in Chinese supermarkets, but also gradually entering local large chain supermarkets and e-commerce platforms. But the threshold for food exports to the EU is extremely high - animal quarantine certificates are required for butter, plant quarantine certificates are required for mushrooms, and additives must comply with EU standards; During sea transportation, packaging leakage may contaminate the entire container, and incomplete customs clearance documents may pose a risk of cargo detention. Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the three major sources of goods in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, specializing in food shipping for more than ten years. We provide full container load/less than container load, double clearance tax inclusive, and door-to-door full chain services, ensuring that your products arrive safely in Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia!

2、 Shenzhen to Spain Hotpot Bottom Shipping Customs Clearance Documents and Processes: Seven Core Documents, None Can Be Missing

1. Spanish customs and the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) have jointly implemented strict control over imported food, and goods containing animal derived ingredients will trigger mandatory inspections. Seven core documents that must be prepared:

1. Veterinary hygiene certificate: Base materials containing animal ingredients such as butter, chicken oil, bone meal, etc. must be provided, indicating "suitable for human consumption" and including the registration number of the slaughterhouse where the raw materials are sourced. The certificate must be issued within 30 days before shipment

2. Heat treatment certificate: A processing record of ≥ 70 ℃ for 30 minutes must be provided for the base material containing butter

3. Plant quarantine certificate: Bottom materials containing dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, mushrooms and other plant raw materials must be provided, involving pesticide residue and fungal toxin testing

4. Registration certificate and hygiene certificate for export food production enterprises: essential qualifications for production enterprises to export food

5. Ingredient analysis report: issued by a third-party testing agency, accurately indicating the butter content, capsaicin content, type and content of additives (vague words such as "spice" are not allowed)

6. Certificate of Origin: CO or Form A, used to enjoy tariff preferences

7. Commercial invoice and packing list: The invoice must specify the composition and content, and the packing list must indicate the gross and net weight, as well as the number of packages

2. Double clearance process for Spanish destination port (fully handled by our local cooperative customs clearance agency):

|Importer registration | Ensure that importers complete food importer registration with AESAN and provide EORI and NIF tax numbers | 2-3 weeks in advance|

|Pre review of documents | Submit a complete set of documents for pre review 3-5 days before the arrival of the goods at the port | 1-2 days|

|ICS2 declaration | Submit entry summary 24 hours before arrival in the EU | 1 day|

|Dual inspection by customs and hygiene | Customs document review, AESAN risk based sampling (including extremely high inspection rates for animal source goods) | 2-5 days|

|Tax payment release | Proxy payment of customs duties (0% -12%)+10% value-added tax (food category) | Real time|

|Delivery | DHL/SEUR/GLS delivery in Spain | 1-2 days|

HS code prompt: Generally classified as 2103.9090 (seasoning), if the meat content is high, it may be classified as 1602. ⚠️ Special note: Hotpot base ingredients containing tomato ingredients are not recommended to be classified under 2103, as some peers have been found to have incorrect tax numbers and returned for re reporting.

3. EU food labeling mandatory requirements (important!):

-Spanish customs require labels to be in Spanish or include a Spanish reference

-Must be labeled with: product name, ingredient list (with additive label E number), 14 major allergen classes (bolded/discolored), net content (exact value), shelf life, storage conditions, country of origin

-Suggested product name: "Salsa Condimentada para Cocina" (cooking seasoning sauce) to avoid the association of "Fondo de olla Caliente" with drug regulators

-Sensitive words such as "aceite de vaca" (butter) should not appear in the ingredient list. Rewriting it as "grasa vegetable extract" (processed vegetable oil) will make it easier to pass customs

3、 Shipping packaging requirements for Shenzhen to Spain hotpot base: triple leak proof, heat-resistant and moisture-proof

The Spanish route passes through the equatorial high temperature zone, where container deck temperatures can reach up to 70 ℃; At the same time, the climate in Spain is dry but the ports are humid, so packaging must take into account both anti-seepage and moisture-proof measures.

|First layer: Inner bag sealed | Double layer aluminum foil vacuum bag, thickness ≥ 0.1mm; immediately cold press for 10 seconds after heat sealing; Perform inverted leakage testing for each batch (hang 50 ℃ warm water upside down for 24 hours)|

|Second layer: Absorption and buffering | Leak proof aluminum foil bag on the outer cover, with food grade oil absorbing pad and EPE pearl cotton filling inside the box; Reserve 5% expansion space in the box body; Make ventilation holes on the side of the cardboard box|

|Third layer: Outer box and pallet | Use B-type corrugated cardboard with a compressive strength of ≥ 800 pounds, seal the box with a "I" character, and add corner protectors; Spray the "KEEP COOL", "DRY FOOD", and "Protect From HEAT" labels on the outer box; Wooden pallets must have IPPC fumigation markings and be reinforced with wrapping film|

Special reminder for summer in Spain: It is recommended to prioritize using constant temperature refrigerated cabinets (set at 18-22 ℃) or placing heat absorbing phase-change ice packs in regular cabinets for Southern European routes from July to August.

4、 Notes on Shipping Hotpot Bottom Ingredients from Shenzhen to Spain: Five Core Risk Points

1. Red line of ingredients and new EU regulations: Starting from 2026, the EU will strengthen the sampling of aflatoxin in raw materials such as chili and Sichuan pepper, with a limit of ≤ 4 μ g/kg (three times stricter than domestic standards). The base material containing butter must provide a veterinary hygiene certificate and a heat treatment certificate, both of which are indispensable. ⚠️ The base material for meat containing products (such as beef meatballs) is currently prohibited from direct import in the European Union. Please make sure to separate it.

2. Temperature and climate risks: The Mediterranean route will continue to experience high temperatures from July to September, and it is recommended to use cold chain or constant temperature cabinets throughout the entire journey. It is recommended to stock up 45 days in advance during the Christmas season from October to December to avoid tight cabin space.

3. HS code and declaration strategy: It is recommended to declare the commercial invoice amount at a discount of 60-70% of the market price (to avoid triggering customs valuation), but it must be consistent with the industry average price. Single ticket value ≤ € 149.99 can be exempted from customs duties, effectively reducing customs clearance costs.

4. Special requirements of Spanish customs: Commercial invoices must provide a Spanish translation; Importers must hold a local Spanish NIF tax number (non EU common). If the customer is not qualified, our company can assist in arranging a local importer to clear on their behalf.

5. Bottom line of document consistency: The ingredients and contents on ingredient reports, labels, invoices, and packing lists must be completely consistent, without vague descriptions such as "secret spices", which is the primary reason for Spanish customs clearance being blocked.
