Now UK no longer in the SM and CU you need all the correct paper work or will face duty, UK has a trade deal but 'local VAT is payable on the value of goods'. For people moving to an EU country who can prove they have 'resided outside an EU/EEA country for 12 months' can transport your personal belongings to your new residence without Duty/VAT. You need a mountain of paper work to prove this & more complex if you do not travel direct to Spain, the VAT is due in the country you are moving to. Removal companies now up to speed on the paperwork.
'This a very good page which might help, although it's for Finland the same rules apply Spain.'
