How much does air freight to Spain cost?
+
As a reference, shipments around 100 kg run about ~$7.01/kg and around 500 kg about ~$2.22/kg. These are indicative rates from public route calculators, not a firm quote: the final price depends on chargeable weight, urgency and cargo type.
What is the main cargo airport in Spain?
+
Madrid-Barajas (MAD), which handled a record 840,331 tonnes in 2025 (+9.6% year on year), around 61% of all Spanish air cargo (Aena, official 2025 figures). We also work with Barcelona-El Prat (BCN).
What customs paperwork does a shipment to Spain need?
+
It clears through Spain's Agencia Tributaria (customs) and an EU EORI number, under the same import VAT and TARIC rules used across the EU. We prepare the air waybill (AWB), commercial invoice and packing list, and coordinate clearance with Agencia Tributaria at both ends.
What kind of cargo ships by air to Spain?
+
All kinds, but mostly urgent or high-value cargo: Spain's fashion, textile and automotive parts industries are regular air freight shippers into and out of Madrid.
Is air cargo insured?
+
Carriers only accept limited liability for loss or damage, capped per kilo or per package under international conventions, so the freight rate is not full cover. Cargo insurance is a separate policy based on the cargo value: under CIF and CIP the seller buys it, under other Incoterms the buyer decides. Tell us the cargo value when you request the quote and coverage is settled before booking.
