Additional Information

Portugal (EU, VAT 23%) mainland only; we do not ship to the Azores or Madeira.

Prohibited items: Standard EU banned items. Portugal specifically may restrict import of wines or spirits without an import license (Portugal is a wine producer, and alcohol imports are controlled), so don't send alcohol as a gift here. Also avoid sending cork or plant products that could carry pests, as Portugal's agriculture sector (e.g. cork trees) is important.

Duties: EU rules apply.

Delivery: Addresses in Portugal often include a postal code of 4 digits + 3 digits (e.g. 1000-123). Include any locality if outside big cities. We ship mainland Portugal only; islands (including the Azores and Madeira) are not served.

Portugal is an EU member state. For complete EU shipping guidelines, prohibited items, and packaging requirements,view our EU Shipping Guide.

We do not ship alcohol, tobacco, prescription medicines, cannabis, or similar restricted goods.

Need help with tracking or delivery?

Your Polimark tracking number works from Canada all the way through final delivery. In most cases, this is the only tracking number you'll ever need.

How local delivery tracking works (rarely needed)

Once your parcel reaches Portugal and is handed to GLS Portugal (the local final-mile carrier), a local courier tracking ID may be generated. This local ID is automatically linked to your Polimark tracking behind the scenes.

Most customers never need to use this local tracking ID.
Polimark remains your primary point of contact for tracking updates and delivery questions.

When would I need the local tracking ID?

Only in uncommon situations, for example:

A recipient wants to manually change a delivery date
A pickup point selection needs to be adjusted directly with the local carrier

If that ever happens, just contact us and we'll provide the local tracking ID for you.
