Import Cars from China to Spain
Spain has become a genuine gateway market for Chinese brands in Europe — Chery notably chose Spain as one of its first re-entry points into the European market, alongside strong MG and BYD sales. Importing directly from China's domestic market offers a further price advantage, with freight from $5,362 USD and 31–44 days transit.
At DriveSino, we handle the entire export process from China to Spain — vehicle sourcing, multi-point inspection, export documentation, shipping, and EU homologation support.
