Hello
I am an American living in Myanmar.  I have household goods that I want to ship when i move there in June (I am hoping to Barcelona).  I don’t want to have to store my things and return (expensive) Do Spanish customs care about things from Myanmar?  There is an insipid trade embargo of things going to the US.  My goods are things i have picked up along the way teaching English in 3 nations.  Do I need an Spanish address first?  What embassy things do I need to do?

Thanks for the info about shipping through Thainland.  But I don’t have an address there also and my target destination is Spain.  I don’t want to return to the US until I have to process a work visa.  So that would mean that I would have to go to Spain, secure an apartment, thus an address then return to Myanmar to ship my goods? 

I have seen something like this and I am wondering if it still can be done this way.  I remember reading port of call notices.  You could ship to a name and port of call, meaning just the city and then meet the ship.  They would inform the ship had arrived by newspaper ad.  Could that work?  How is everyone else shipping-friend’s addresses?  I guess maybe i’m the only one that’s on my own.  anymore info?
Hoping for another back door
