Routes
We're a Chinese freight forwarder operating from the origin, where your goods are made and loaded. Importing directly from China brings barriers —the language, the distance, who to turn to— and our job is to make them a non-issue. We handle your shipment from China to Portugal end to end —transport, documentation and customs—, with a close, personal service in your language when you need it, and the prices you only get by working from the origin itself.
You work with the people at the port of departure in China, not a middleman in Portugal that subcontracts. Fewer links, better price.
We're where your goods are made and loaded: we coordinate pickup, consolidation and shipping from the very first metre.
We know Chinese carriers, ports and export formalities inside out. We pick the best combination of factory, port and carrier to Portugal.
We work in writing and can reply in Portuguese or Spanish, as well as English, the common standard in international shipping. Every detail stays clear and documented — no language barrier with the origin.
The best port depends on where your final destination in Portugal is. We pick the one that connects best to cut inland transport cost and time.
Portugal's great deep-water Atlantic port and one of Europe's fastest-growing container hubs. A key transhipment point in MSC's global network, with direct connections to Asia. The great Atlantic gateway for trade with China.
The country's main historic port, on the river Tagus near its outlet to the Atlantic. It concentrates much of Portugal's foreign trade across several specialised terminals. Ideal for central Portugal and the Lisbon metropolitan area.
The northern port, next to Porto, handling around a quarter of Portugal's port traffic. The best entry for the industrial north of Portugal and the Douro valley.
South of Lisbon, specialised in roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) cargo, automotive and bulk. A useful alternative for project cargo and industrial volumes towards the centre-south.
We also operate with other Portuguese points: Lisbon (airport LIS) · Porto (OPO) · Aveiro · Figueira da Foz
The most cost-effective option. FCL (full container) or LCL (groupage) depending on your volume, to Sines, Lisbon or Leixões.
For urgent or high-value cargo, via Lisbon (LIS) or Porto (OPO). Fast and tracked in real time.
The China–Europe train doesn't reach Portugal directly, but it can be combined: rail to a terminal on the continent and an onward road leg to Portugal. A middle option between sea and air; ask us about availability and timing for your route.
We take care of clearance. Portugal is part of the EU customs union: to import you need an EORI number and an import declaration is filed. Customs duty (based on the product's TARIC code, common across the EU) and import VAT, at 23% standard with reduced rates for some products, are settled. We help with tariff classification and coordinate clearance with a customs agent at destination, so your cargo enters without surprises.
