Importing a car in Bilbao

Bilbao and the Basque Country have one of Spain's highest income-per-capita levels, fuelling demand for imported premium cars. The Basque ITP is 4%, same as Madrid. Proximity to the French border (Irún is 100 km away) and the Port of Bilbao — with regular UK lines — make Bilbao a key entry point. Note that taxes in the Basque Country are managed by the Provincial Treasuries (not the central Tax Agency), so procedures differ slightly. A local agency familiar with foral rules is highly recommended.
