Sending a parcel from Georgia to Portugal
Diplomatic relations between Georgia and the Portuguese Republic were established on 23 May 1992. The Georgian embassy in Lisbon opened in 2010, and since 2005 Portugal has been represented in Georgia through its embassy in Turkey.
For Georgians living in Portugal, receiving a parcel from home is often a simple way of keeping a connection to family, friends and the place they came from.
You give us the parcel and the details we need, and we help organise the process of getting it to Portugal.

What the recipient in Portugal should know
Portugal is a member of the European Union, so EU customs rules apply to a parcel sent from Georgia. The country uses the euro, so a consignment's value and the EU customs relief thresholds are in the same currency.
What is particular to Portugal is that when a parcel is cleared through the portal of CTT, the national postal operator, the recipient needs a Portuguese tax number (NIF) or a passport number. CTT also explains that even a gift must always have a value stated — and if the recipient does not know it, they should contact the sender.
According to CTT, a non-commercial parcel between private individuals worth no more than €45 can be claimed as exempt from charges. The standard VAT rate is 23% in mainland Portugal, 22% in Madeira and 16% in the Azores.
That is why it helps if the recipient knows in advance what is in the parcel and what it is worth — it helps the customs procedure complete without delay.
How much does it cost to send a parcel to Portugal?
The cost depends on the weight of the parcel and the rate in force.
Send us the weight of your parcel and the destination city in Portugal to get the current price.
What to know before sending to Portugal
Below are the official European Union rules that apply when a parcel is received. These are not Parcello's own terms.
Portugal is a founding member of the eurozone
Portugal joined the European Union in 1986 and was among the first countries to adopt the euro, on 1 January 1999. Euro banknotes and coins entered circulation on 1 January 2002. The euro replaced the Portuguese escudo at a fixed rate of €1 = 200.482 escudos, and the period in which both currencies circulated ended on 28 February 2002.
The VAT rate depends on the region
The standard VAT rate in mainland Portugal is 23%. Lower rates apply in the country's autonomous regions: 22% in Madeira and 16% in the Azores.
Customs clearance needs a NIF or a passport
According to CTT, Portugal's national postal operator, when a parcel from outside the EU is cleared through CTT's portal, the recipient must give either a Portuguese tax number (NIF) or a passport number. There is no need to give both.
Parcels go through customs
Georgia is not a member of the European Union, so a parcel sent to Europe goes through customs when it enters the EU. The recipient may be charged value added tax (VAT) and, in some cases, customs duty as well.
Gifts under €45 are exempt
When one private individual sends a parcel to another for personal or family use and its value does not exceed €45, the consignment is exempt from customs duty and VAT. The relief applies only to occasional, non-commercial gifts — a birthday parcel, for example. If the value exceeds €45, VAT is charged on the whole consignment.
A new rule applies from 1 July 2026
The European Union has abolished the customs duty exemption for consignments valued under €150. In its place, from 1 July 2026 a flat customs duty of €3 applies, calculated per tariff line rather than per parcel. The rule is aimed primarily at consignments from online shopping and is temporary — it runs until 1 July 2028.
Separate rules apply to alcohol and tobacco
Gift relief does not fully cover alcohol and tobacco: VAT and excise duty are charged on these products regardless. Relief from customs duty applies only to strictly limited quantities — 50 cigarettes, or one litre of spirits, for example.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a parcel take to reach Portugal?
Delivery time depends on the route and the service chosen. We will confirm the expected time with you before your order is finalised.
What does the recipient in Portugal need to clear a parcel through customs?
According to CTT, Portugal's postal operator, a recipient clearing a parcel through its portal must give a Portuguese tax number (NIF) or a passport number. The parcel must always have a value stated, even if it is a gift.
Is VAT the same across all of Portugal?
No. The standard VAT rate is 23% in mainland Portugal and lower in the autonomous regions: 22% in Madeira and 16% in the Azores.
