Portugal has strong air freight networks and P4D are committed to providing you with a stress-free service when sending your consignment. Whether you are sending air freight to Lisbon or Porto, Coimbra or Evora, we offer excellent coverage of Portugal, regardless of size, weight or contents.

Home to a number of large multinational companies and part of the Eurozone and the EU, Portugal has a strong economy that has seen gradual growth over recent years and enjoyed a recent boom. The majority of its international trade takes place within the EU, whose countries receive around three-quarters of Portuguese exports and were the origin of roughly the same amount of the country’s imports.

Portugal’s main exports include textiles, clothing, footwear, wine, cork and paper pulp, while its main imports are primarily food and beverages, as well as crude oil, machinery and cars. The UK is one of Portugal’s top import and export destinations.

P4D are committed to eliminating all the effort associated with dealing with carriers, customs, paperwork, etc. and we will work with you to meet certain requirements. The most basic documents that are required to handle customs clearance of your cargo include a commercial invoice / pro forma invoice, a packing List and a certificate of origin.

There are many other documents that could potentially be required, but the above applies to most general shipments of goods that don’t require any additional certificates or special Portuguese government approval. For specific information on items, we recommend getting in touch with Portuguese Customs.
