Portuguese residents are often interested in receiving parcels from the United States for both commercial and personal purposes. The reason is clear: North America offers a wider selection and lower prices for many goods. Therefore, delivery to Portugal is a relevant and in-demand service. TRT Express is ready to provide this service. We have extensive experience in international logistics, enabling us to ensure delivery within optimal timeframes and offer flexible rates.
Start by registering on the website. After logging in, you can place your order. It is important to specify the recipient’s exact address, the item value, and its intended purpose. Then the parcel should be sent to the warehouse.
All subsequent processes are handled by TRT Express specialists. To ensure delivery from the United States to Portugal is completed on time and without the risk of customs delays, we inspect the contents and prepare documents in accordance with international regulations. Afterwards, we transport the parcels to the terminal and ship them across the Atlantic.
The import of goods into Portugal is regulated by EU legislation. According to current rules, shipments to Portugal are subject to VAT, and if the value of the goods exceeds the duty-free threshold, additional duties apply.
It is important to declare the exact value of the shipment. Otherwise, fines and customs delays may occur.
Over the years, TRT Express has developed and optimized the process of transatlantic shipments. We deliver parcels from the United States using a multimodal approach, which includes:
- receipt of shipments at the warehouse and processing: inspection, measurement, labeling, and additional packaging if necessary;
- consolidation into a shared container to optimize transportation costs;
- dispatch to the terminal by air or sea;
- transit and customs clearance upon arrival;
- last-mile delivery to the recipient’s door.
Delivery to Portugal from the USA using this well-coordinated and proven system ensures a high level of service and minimizes the likelihood of issues at any stage.
Organizing and executing transatlantic shipments takes time. The delivery time from the USA to Portugal depends on the transport mode.
Air freight typically takes 5–12 days. Sea freight takes longer—about 4–7 weeks.
The cost of transportation services is determined individually. Rates for international shipping to Portugal depend on the following factors:
- transport mode;
- additional insurance coverage;
- parcel dimensions and weight.
The most economical way to ship parcels to Portugal is by sea. It is also suitable for cargo of any size and volume, including furniture, vehicles, specialized equipment, machinery, and bulk shipments. However, it is the slowest option. Air freight is faster but more expensive.
