New H1 Customs System for EU Imports

On October 14, 2025, a major change in customs is coming in customs: the H1 System will replace the old SAD (Single Administrative Document) for imports in Spain and throughout the European Union.

Why? Because the goal is to make everything more digital, faster, and safer.

What is the customs H1 System?

It’s a new 100% online format that organises information in a clearer and more modern way, leaving behind the old SAD boxes.

What changes in customs with H1?

✔️ Full digitalisation: less paperwork, more online processes
✔️ Faster declarations: flexible formats tailored to each operation
✔️ European integration: everything is connected under one system across the EU
✔️ Greater control and security: full traceability and advanced automation

Documents that will disappear:

• SAD: no longer valid (though you’ll still be able to download an official PDF)
• DV1: replaced by an online-declared adjustment list

This new system requires more technical preparation, but it also brings key benefits in operational efficiency, document control, and advanced digital management.
