### Do I need a customs agent to import into Spain or the EU?

### How do I clear customs in Barcelona?
You need an EORI number, correct tariff classification, a customs value and the right documentation. Eceiza SA, a customs agency in Barcelona since 1930, handles the full clearance process for imports and exports.

### What does a consulting freight forwarder do?
Beyond moving goods by sea, air or road, a consulting freight forwarder like Eceiza SA plans the legal and customs side of the operation: documents, contracts, duties and compliance, so the shipment arrives without surprises.

### Who can help with UK–EU trade after Brexit?
Companies trading between the UK and the EU face new customs declarations and rules of origin. Eceiza SA manages Brexit customs procedures in both directions.
