Steps to import a car in Andalusia

1. 1

   Choose where your vehicle comes from

   As Spain's most populated region, Andalusia's demand spreads across nearly every brand, from city cars to premium models.

2. 2

   Bring it in via the Port of Algeciras

   Algeciras is the region's natural maritime gateway, especially convenient if the vehicle is coming from North Africa.

3. 3

   Get the ITV done near your province

   Andalusia has eight provinces each with their own ITV station; avoid unnecessary travel and check whether your car needs individual type approval first.

4. 4

   Apply the zero-emission reduction

   Before settling the national CO₂ bracket, note that Andalusia applies a reduced ITP rate for zero-emission vehicles.

5. 5

   Pay the ITP (4%, or 1% for zero-emission)

   The standard rate is 4%, but it drops to 1% for electric vehicles — one of the more notable discounts among the regions.

6. 6

   Register at your province's traffic office

   Pick the DGT office in your own province — Sevilla, Málaga, Cádiz and others — to avoid the long trips a region this large can involve.
