Does Canada Post deliver to Spain?

Canada Post has well-established connections with all EU countries, so shipping a parcel to Spain from Canada is commonplace. What may surprise people, however, is how expensive shipping has become regardless of the destination. But as a Canadian resident, you are very lucky because you have access to Secureship - a shipping broker whose ties with Purolator, UPS, and FedEx will save you a pile of money and time. But shipping internationally is quite different than sending a parcel to Vancouver from Ottawa, and Secureship can help you with that too. For instance, by guiding you through the necessary paperwork and supplying Spain-specific information about its importation rules, like duties and taxes.

Shipping to Spain

While Canadians can ship many goods to Spain duty-free through CETA, countries require specific paperwork for their shipments. So, when shipping from Canada to Spain, all parcels must have a shipping label and commercial invoice.

Shipping label

The shipping label identifies the sender, recipient, and their relevant addresses. Be sure to write clearly and supply all information. Illegible or missing information will cause delivery delays, and that is never good for the bottom line.

Commercial invoice (CV)

The CV is a parcel’s passport. Without it, the parcel does not enter a foreign country.

It is also important that the CV correctly describes the enclosed goods so that customs can assess them accurately for duties and taxes owed.

VAT

Like most countries, Spain applies a value added tax to internal purchases and on incoming goods, which is equivalent to the Canadian GST.

The VAT rate is 21% on most shipments crossing Spain’s frontiers regardless of their value (unlike duties, which has a de minimis value of €150 - about $245 CAD as of October, 2025).

However, certain goods will only incur a 10% reduced rate and others a 4% highly reduced rate.

Conclusion

Many Canadians rely on Canada Post to deliver parcels to Spain and many other countries. And though that can be pricey, Canadian shipping broker Secureship significantly reduces your shipping costs with Purolator, FedEx, and UPS.

In addition to the monetary savings Secureship provides you, its easy-to-use platform smoothly guides you through the necessary paperwork, and further, you will find heaps of information on our website concerning Spain’s importation rules and taxes.
