Answer

Do imported cars need customs clearance before being delivered to Spain or Mallorca?

Yes, vehicles brought in from outside the EU need proper customs clearance before they can be delivered legally in Spain, including Mallorca. If the documents are missing, the driver may face duties and the vehicle can be held by customs. The responsibility usually falls on the person arranging the transport as well as the recipient.
