Spain Mandates H1 System for Import Declarations, Replacing SAD from October 14, 2025

  • Spain’s new H1 system for electronic import declarations is mandatory from October 14, 2025.
  • The H1 system replaces the Single Administrative Document (SAD) under the Union Customs Code.
  • Since June 25, 2024, both systems coexisted, but now only H1 is accepted for import declarations.
  • The H1 declaration is required to evidence the right to deduct input VAT on imports and must be used for customs documents in the Immediate Supply of Information (SII) system.
