Legal basis and things to bear in mind

REOCE registration is the step before any licence: only registered operators can apply for authorisation to export or dispatch, import or bring in, and broker dual-use items, defence material, firearms and other controlled material. In addition, only the operations stated in the registration application are authorised, so it is best to declare every operation you foresee.
Only individuals and companies resident in Spain can register, and companies domiciled in tax havens are not accepted. Non-residents who only need a transit, brokering or technical assistance authorisation do not have to register.
The Secretaría de Estado de Comercio decides within 60 working days of submission, with a mandatory and binding report from the JIMDDU. The JIMDDU refuses registration if there are documents proving unlawful activity or smuggling by the applicant, or if its ability to control its operations effectively is not guaranteed; a conviction for bribery of foreign public officials can lead to suspension or revocation.
Any change to the registration details (address, shareholders, products or operations) is notified to the Secretaría de Estado de Comercio on the same form within 30 working days of the change.
If the company has foreign capital and works with weapons, civil-use explosives or in Defence-related activities, it must show the Consejo de Ministros authorisation for the foreign investor. Anyone transferring firearms as a professional activity first needs the armero or corredor authorisation from the Guardia Civil.
Registration is not the licence: afterwards, each controlled operation must be covered by an authorisation (individual, global or general), which is a separate procedure not included in this price. Those that are applied for are decided within a maximum of 6 months, and if there is no answer within that period they are deemed refused. The customs declaration is lodged by your business or by a registered customs representative.
