Frequently Asked Questions: Ireland → Portugal Shipping
What documents are required for intra-EU shipping?
Commercial invoice, packing list, CMR or airwaybill and, for controlled goods, safety data sheets or export permits. No export declaration is needed for most goods under €6 000 — see Irish Customs AEP.
How long does groupage take door-to-door?
Palletised groupage typically leaves our Dublin hub every Friday and delivers across Portugal in 6–8 business days, including last-mile tail-lift service.
Can you handle oversized machinery?
Yes — we arrange permits, escorts and low-loader trailers for out-of-gauge cargo up to 40 t and 4.5 m height.
Is real-time tracking available?
Absolutely — each shipment gets a live GPS/airwaybill link plus email or API status updates at pickup, hub departure, customs clearance and POD.
Do I need cargo insurance for intra-EU moves?
While CMR liability covers basic loss/damage, we always recommend all-risk insurance for high-value shipments — we can place cover with Lloyd’s brokers.
Which Portuguese ports & airports do you serve?
Main gateways include Lisbon (LIS), Porto (OPO), Faro (FAO) and the container ports of Lisbon, Leixões and Sines.
