The manner in which a
transporting and storage company can develop its activities in
Spain depends on the types of products it delivers, the
means of transportation and the
type of transportation (
national or international). Also, it is necessary to conclude
insurance policies for the respective goods and products and to respect specific
transit schedules.
The activities of a transporting and storage company in Spain
Regardless of the manner in which the
delivery of goods is concluded (by
air, land, sea), a
transporting and storage company in Spain will generally provide the same types of activities and services, which can be available for both natural persons and legal entities. Below, we describe the
main activities of a transporting company that provides
air freight services:
- • preparing a detailed inventory of the objects that are to be delivered;
- • labelling, measuring and weighting all the products prepared for delivery;
- • preparing the required documentation requested when transporting goods or products;
- • collecting the items from the client’s address and delivering them to the cargo terminal at a local airport.
Transportation of products by sea in Spain
When
transporting products by sea, specific documentation has to be concluded as per legislation regulating
shipping transportation (which is generally concluded through
shipping containers);
our team of consultants in company formation in Spain may advise on the
maritime legislation applicable for
cargo deliveries.
A
company that
delivers products by sea should provide the necessary
customs documentation prior to the actual
transportation, be able to
offer a suitable container that could satisfy the needs of the respective load, handle individual
packing and labelling and prepare a comprehensive
inventory. Businessmen are invited to
contact our team of company formation specialists in Spain for more details on the rules of law that regulate the operations of a
transportation and storage business in Spain.
Our representatives can also offer in-depth information on the
taxation scheme available for this sector.
