ES/GR/IE/PT Air DDP Battery Cargo

Air freight on this route runs about 5–10 business days door-to-door, plus roughly 3–6 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. Customs clearance is coordinated through our DDP Service (a customs and tax handling service, not Incoterms DDP).

Clearance is handled by the national EU customs authority. The regime is: Import VAT 17–27%; duty 0–12% by TARIC, with a de-minimis position of EUR 150. Our DDP Service coordinates this customs and tax processing for both parties; it does not constitute Incoterms DDP.

Yes — battery cargo by air follows IATA PI966/PI967; we run certified battery channels via the main gateway airport. Brand-goods and DG paperwork are handled within the DDP service. Surcharges apply.

We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000) and charge the greater, rounded up to the next kilogram, then apply the per-KG rate shown in the table above.

Freight is quoted and invoiced in USD; the destination-side currency is EUR. Payment is typically due before departure, and our DDP Service handles the customs and tax processing for both parties.

the national EU customs authority typically requires a commercial invoice with HS codes, a packing list, the bill of lading/air waybill, a certificate of origin (may lower duty), and any product certification (CE marking + IOSS for low-value parcels). We file these as part of our DDP Service.
