About this office
Based in Escaldes - Engordany, Central Customs Office (AD000003) is a Andorra road customs office in the Pyrenees principality between France and Spain. It processes road consignments with departure, guarantee and authorisation capabilities.
Fun fact
Andorra has no airport, seaport or railway - it is the only country in Europe where absolutely every imported good must cross a land border through France or Spain. Despite this, its customs system handles over 8 million tourists per year.
Frequently asked questions
It is Andorra's customs headquarters responsible for three missions: fiscal (collecting duties, IGI and excise), protective (combating smuggling and border control) and economic (regulating imports and exports). The office coordinates the work of customs posts in Sant Julià de Lòria and Pas de la Casa. The office reference code is AD000003.
Andorra applies IGI (Impost General Indirecte) at 4.5% - the equivalent of VAT but the lowest in Europe. For comparison: France charges 20%, Spain 21%. Andorra only introduced personal income tax above certain thresholds in 2015.
Andorra has no airport or seaport - all goods must pass through France or Spain. While Andorra has a customs union with the EU for industrial goods, agricultural products are subject to separate regulations and limits.

Not anymore. In 2009, the OECD removed Andorra from its list of non-cooperative jurisdictions, and in 2018 ECOFIN permanently took it off the blacklist. Andorra introduced tax transparency and information exchange, though rates remain attractively low.
