International Freight to Portugal

Road freight to Portugal is simple with Barrington Freight, even with post-Brexit customs requirements. We still provide fast and efficient service: 5-7 days for groupage, 3-4 days for a full load, and 2-3 days for express delivery.

What to Expect

Fragile, secure and time sensitive cargo from the UK to Portugal can benefit from timed collections and drop-offs. Our local UK depots and European partner depots provide total coverage for road haulage to and from all Portuguese towns and cities such as Sintra, Vila Nova de Gaia, Armadora, Almada, Agualva-Cacem, Queluz, Guimaraes, Rio Tinto, Odivelas, Matosinhos, Amora, Barreiro, da Rainha, Caldas, Abrantes, Albufeira, Ermesinde and the district capitals listed below.

The Portuguese Republic is named after the (historically) largest city, Porto and is split into eighteen separate districts: Aveiro, Beja, Braga, Braganca, Castelo Branco, Coimbra, Evora, Faro, Guarda, Leiria, Lisbon, Portalegre, Porto, Santarem, Setubal, Viana do Castelo, Vila Real and Viseu. Traditionally known for textiles, shoes, clothes, and the world’s largest cork producer, Portugal is now active in high tech exports, snowmobiles, and golf carts.

Whatever commodity you seek to transport, whatever the logistical challenge, we create bespoke delivery solutions. Portuguese import and export is a core business for us, so our knowledgeable team will create a seamless shipment for you.

As long-established freight forwarders to Portugal, Barrington Freight welcomes haulage of awkward shapes and sizes, heavy items, palletised or non-palletised, stackable or non-stackable, shrink or stretch-wrapped machinery or manufactured goods, and any other haulage! Whether Euro or UK export pallets, printer pallets, wooden pallets, plastic pallets, our cheap pallet delivery service is unbeatable for business-to-business exports and imports between Portugal and the UK.
