Moving to Portugal from the UK. Air freight in 5–7 working days, subject to space and flight availability with the carriers. Portuguese Customs (AT — Autoridade Tributária). Clear quote before collection. 28 years experience.
Planning your move to Portugal? We ship luggage, send suitcases and move boxes of belongings door-to-door (subject to your destination) from across the UK to Portugal. Our relocation service handles collection, customs and delivery of your personal effects, so moving your things to Portugal is simple and stress-free.
Moving to Portugal from the UK means deciding what travels with you and what ships ahead. For most people — professionals, returning diaspora, retirees — luggage shipping handles the personal effects while furniture follows by sea or stays behind. Here is the process.
No UK food/meat. Portuguese AT requires NIF number. Always call us on 0800 096 38 39 before packing if you are unsure about any item — a 5-minute call prevents a customs hold at the destination.
Portugal (Algarve, Lisbon, Porto) is one of our most popular EU retirement and digital nomad destinations. We have been shipping personal effects from the UK since 1998 — operating 2 miles from Heathrow cargo terminals. Community discussions and expat networks consistently cite our confirmed pricing and customs documentation support.
Clear quote before we collect. No guesswork. Established 1998.
For official customs requirements, import duties and restricted items guidance, visit the Autoridade Tributária Portugal — the official customs authority for Portugal. Always verify current requirements before shipping.
