Steps to import a car in Valencian Community

1. 1

   Find the vehicle at source

   Demand here concentrates on German and French brands, with a good share of stock arriving by sea rather than overland.

2. 2

   Ship it in through the Port of Valencia

   It's Spain's largest vehicle terminal, though the road route from France is also viable if you'd rather drive the car in yourself.

3. 3

   Book your ITV slot early

   As a high-volume maritime import destination, it pays to request the import ITV appointment in your province well ahead of time.

4. 4

   Work out the national CO₂ bracket

   The registration tax is calculated the same way as anywhere in Spain, before moving to the regional ITP, which runs higher here than in neighboring regions.

5. 5

   Pay the ITP (6%)

   This rate applies to every second-hand vehicle sold between individuals, and it's among the highest on the Mediterranean coast.

6. 6

   Register at the DGT on Poeta Querol

   Before driving, check Valencia city's low emission zone, which can affect older vehicles.
