What can be sent as removals to Portugal from UK?

Moving abroad shouldn’t mean you have to choose which personal possessions and household goods you take with you. In our many years as an established international removals company, we have mastered the art of shipping just about everything as part of our international removals to Portugal service. Throughout the years we have sent everything from: clothes and shoes, beds and wardrobes, fridges and freezers, sofas and armchairs, frames and artwork, mirrors and pictures, camping equipment, sports equipment, musical instruments and beyond. Portugal , much like every country, has a list of restricted and prohibited items that you won’t be able to take with you, unfortunately. However, if Portugal allows it – we will ship it! For a comprehensive list of items you can or cannot send as part of your removals from the UK to Portugal, your moving coordinator will be able to help.

Removal costs to Portugal

Our international removals to Portugal service is tailored to suit different budgets and time frames. We can send removals to Portugal using air freight or road freight vessels, although road freight is the most commonly used transport method for large domestic and commercial removals. Portugal removals using the air freight method are recommended for smaller since air freight costs are calculated based on the WEIGHT of your removals, so air freight can become quite an expensive transport method for removals from the UK to Portugal. However, air freight means you can receive your removals in Portugal quicker. If you’re looking for cheap international removals to Portugal from the UK, we would always suggest one of our road freight solutions. If you’re not planning on taking a lot of items with you, you can use our shared container option. Your removal will be assessed, packed, and loaded onto a shipping container that is shared with other customers and you will only pay for the space your items occupy within said container, based on their cubic volume. Alternatively, for larger home removals or commercial removals to Portugal, a dedicated shipping container removal is ideal. You will pay one flat rate for a 20ft or 40ft shipping container that is for your exclusive use and you can fill the container how you wish – even with a vehicle! Your move coordinator will be able to discuss our international removals services with you in greater detail, discuss the best option for your requirements and provide you with a removals to Portugal quote.
