More rules for Portugal

Not allowed

Meat, milk, and products made from them, sent from outside the EU

Allowed with conditions

Food: No meat, milk, or products made from them from outside the EU: customs seizes and destroys them, and a fine or legal proceedings can follow. Send only sealed, labeled, shelf-stable food and declare it.

Quantity limits

Meat and milk products: None from outside the EU, in any amount.

Before you ship to Portugal

Tax-free limit: Boxes from other EU countries clear no customs and owe nothing on arrival. From outside the EU (including the UK), IVA is due from the first euro unless a relief applies. Occasional, unpaid gifts from one private person to another worth up to €45 (about $51) are free of duty and IVA. Since July 1, 2026, the EU's €150 (about $171) duty relief no longer exists. Low-value online purchases now pay a flat €3 duty per item, and other boxes that no relief covers can owe duty: a flat 2.5% for non-commercial boxes between private persons worth up to €700 (about $800), or each item's normal tariff rate.
Receiver ID: NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) needed. Customs declarations must identify the receiver. AT's simplified declaration for gifts makes the receiver's ID number mandatory and accepts an EU customs (EORI) number, a non-EU ID number recognized by the EU, or another personal ID number. Give the NIF if the receiver has one; Portuguese consulates can assign one to people still abroad. If the receiver has none, ask the courier before shipping whether a passport number will do.
Transit: 2-4 business days from Europe; 3-5 from North America; 4-7 from Asia
