- 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.
