Shipping Your Belongings to Portugal from Wales
Britannia Robbins will carefully catalogue your belongings and ensure they are securely loaded for shipping to Portugal.
If you have a larger shipment, we’ll arrange for your own shipping container. For smaller loads, we can combine your consignment with others heading to Portugal, helping to reduce costs as you’ll only pay for the space you use.
We offer two main methods for shipping your belongings from Wales to Portugal, detailed below. We can help you choose the best shipping method to suit your needs, timeline, and budget.
Sea freight
Sea freight is the most common and cost-effective option for moving items to Portugal. Sea shipping from Wales to Portugal can take between 1-3 weeks. While it takes longer than air freight, we’ll plan your shipment to ensure your belongings arrive as quickly as possible after your move.
Air freight
For faster delivery, air freight is a practical choice. With transit times of around 10 days, it’s ideal if you have fewer items or need your belongings to arrive sooner. While it is more expensive than sea freight, it provides a quicker solution for essential items.
Portugal Customs and Imports
When moving to Portugal, understanding customs regulations and import requirements is essential to ensure a smooth transition. Britannia Robbins will guide you through the process, helping you meet all necessary requirements.
As part of the EU, Portugal has specific rules for importing personal belongings. Household items, furniture, and personal belongings can typically be imported duty-free, provided they are for personal use and not resale. Certain items, such as firearms, narcotics, and perishable food, are restricted or prohibited. You can check our team for a detailed list of items that cannot be imported, or to check anything you’re unsure of.
To clear your belongings through Portuguese customs, you’ll need a detailed inventory of your items, proof of your residency in Portugal, such as a visa or rental agreement, identification, such as a passport or residency permit, and a declaration confirming your items are for personal use. Our team will ensure all documentation is prepared and submitted correctly to avoid delays.
Upon arrival in Portugal, your shipment will undergo a customs inspection. Britannia Robbins will liaise with customs officials on your behalf, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
