Why UK shops stopped delivering to Portugal

Since Brexit, UK-to-Portugal shipments became international exports with customs declaration requirements. Many UK retailers removed Portugal and other EU countries from their delivery zones to avoid the complexity.

Portugal has a large British expat community and many Portuguese shoppers who want access to UK brands, UK pricing, and products not easily available locally. PostUK provides direct access to the full UK retail market.

Frequently asked questions

Why do UK shops not deliver to Portugal?

Post-Brexit customs requirements led many UK retailers to remove EU delivery options. PostUK bypasses this by receiving parcels at a UK address first, then forwarding to Portugal.

Is it legal to use a UK forwarding address?

Yes. UK parcel forwarding is completely legal. You provide a real UK address for delivery and PostUK ships the parcel on to you internationally.

Will I pay IVA or customs charges?

Portuguese IVA (23%) may apply, plus customs duty on goods over €150. These are charged by Portuguese customs and are separate from PostUK prices. See our customs guide.
