This option is mainly used when the shipment doesn't fill up an entire container.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL freight is perfect for shipments <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">below the threshold of 13-15 Cubic Meters<\/span><\/strong>. It offers flexibility as you only pay for your required space in the container, which leads to savings.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> For instance, if you're a small online retailer exporting handcrafted items from the US to Portugal, volumes could be less than 14 cubic meters. Here, LCL shipment becomes the most financially viable and logistics-smart option.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> LCL freight reduces cost as you only pay for the space your cargo occupies. However, it's important to note, multiple parties sharing space can lead to slightly more complex customs procedures, which could affect the overall cost and transit time. Although this is often offset by the reduced space costs, it's best to get a detailed LCL shipping quote to understand the complete breakdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-3321-8-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3321-8-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" ><div class=\"custom-colors featured-widget panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-3321-8-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FCL_Full_Container_Load\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #920d12\">FCL: Full Container Load<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> FCL, or Full Container Load, is a term used in FCL shipping when the <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">entire container is utilized by one customer<\/span><\/strong>. It's a smart choice for high-volume shipping because of its cost-effectiveness and increased safety, with the FCL container sealed from origin to destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> If you're shipping a quantity that equates to <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">more than approximately 13 to 15 cubic meters (CBM)<\/span><\/strong>, FCL is generally the best option. This could translate to a 20'ft container for more compact shipments or a 40'ft container for larger ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> For instance, a furniture company who wants to export bulky sofas from the US to Portugal would probably opt for FCL to secure space and keep its goods safe during transit.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> The expense of FCL becomes more attractive the more you fill the container, as it's a flat rate no matter how full the container is. Therefore, the cost per unit decreases as the number of units increase. Finally, it's essential to remember that an FCL shipping quote also includes customs clearance, which means there's a smaller possibility of delays or additional charges at the destination port.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3321-9\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-3321-9\" ><div id=\"pgc-3321-9-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3321-9-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"15\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-3321-9-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Unlock hassle-free shipping<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Struggling to decide between consolidation or a full container for shipping between the US and Portugal?

Conversely, Volumetric weight, often termed as dimensional weight, reflects the package's density, serving as a calculation of the space it occupies rather than its actual weight.<\/p>\n<p>For Air Cargo, the volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the item's dimensions <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">(Length x Width x Height in centimeters)<\/span><\/strong> and dividing by a constant factor, typically 6000. <strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">For instance, consider a package measuring 40cm x 30cm x 20cm with a gross weight of 10 kg. The volumetric weight is (40 x 30 x 20) \/ 6000, which equals 4 kg (or 8.8 lbs).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Express Air Freight services use a slightly different division factor - 5000. Using the same package dimensions, the result would be 4.8 kg (or 10.6 lbs).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These calculations matter significantly in determining freight charges. If your shipment's volumetric weight is higher than its gross weight, the freight company will charge based on that. It ensures the carrier is compensated adequately for the space your shipment occupies in the aircraft, highlighting the need for efficient packaging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-3321-17\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-3321-17-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div

Your duty calculation puzzle contains several pieces: <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">the country of origin<\/span><\/strong>, <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">the Harmonized System (HS) code<\/span><\/strong>, the customs value along with <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">the applicable tariff rate<\/span><\/strong>, and any other taxes or fees that pertain to your particular products. Each plays a significant role in shaping the financial landscape for your importing journey.<\/p>\n<p>The starting point in unlocking this puzzle revolves around identifying where the goods were created or produced. This acts as your compass, guiding the identification of many subsequent calculation elements. By having a solid understanding of the full duty estimation process, you'll be equipped to navigate the importation world with confidence and ease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-3321-21-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"49\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">Step 1 - Identify the Country of Origin<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First things first, understanding the country of origin is never an underestimated step. Here's why. One, it lays the groundwork for acquiring the <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">Harmonized System (HS) code<\/span><\/strong>, a key player in your shipping process. Second, it informs whether any<strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"> trade agreements<\/span><\/strong> could lower your duties. For instance, the US has a <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA)<\/span><\/strong> with Portugal. Real perks are in there!<\/p>\n<p>On to reason three, it helps outline <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">import restrictions<\/span><\/strong>. For example, trading agricultural products from the US requires peculiar processes. Four, it gives a clear snapshot of your costs involved. Lastly, this simple step ensures compliance, keeping you off the customs officer's naughty list.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let's talk strategy for your US-Portugal shipment. Leverage that MRA to navigate <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">lower duties<\/span><\/strong>. However, pay close attention to products like tobacco, motor vehicles, and certain textiles. They have different tariffs and restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, proper organization is the secret weapon of the shipping world. Starting with country-of-origin knowledge sets you up for a smoother, more predictable voyage. Navigate these waters carefully, and success awaits!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-3321-21-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"50\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">Step 2 - Find the HS Code of your product<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">Harmonized System (HS) Code<\/span><\/strong> is a standardized system of names and numbers to classify traded products, developed and maintained by the <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">World Customs Organization (WCO)<\/span><\/strong>. This system comes into place globally for determining how your goods are classified and what duties and controls apply. As an exporter or importer, it's essential to find your product's HS Code to ensure a smoother shipping process.<\/p>\n<p>If you're struggling to identify your product's HS Code, fret not. Your supplier, who is well-versed in their products and the regulations surrounding them, can often provide you with the correct HS Code.<\/p>\n<p>If obtaining the HS Code from your supplier isn't possible, follow these easy steps using the <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\"><a style=\"color: #920d12\" href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0as a lookup tool.<\/p>\n<p>1. Open the website and locate the search bar.<\/p>\n<p>2. Type the name of your product into the search bar.<\/p>\n<p>3. In the search results, refer to the 'Heading\/Subheading' column to find your product's unique HS Code.<\/p>\n<p>Please be aware, selecting the accurate HS Code for your product is of utmost importance.

It's not the simple price tag of your items, but a broader calculation. This key figure is the <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">CIF value<\/span><\/strong> - the goods' price, plus the <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">international shipping costs<\/span><\/strong>, plus the <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">insurance cost<\/span><\/strong>. Here's how it works:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let's say you spent $1000 on goods, $200 on shipping, and $50 on insurance. Your customs value isn't $1000, it's $1250. Customs duties will be calculated based on this CIF value. So your import expenses might end up higher than anticipated if you're not clued in.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember, navigating customs can be tricky, but knowing terms like 'customs value' can make the process more predictable. Acquainting yourself with this concept saves you from unforeseen duties, helping maintain your budget and prevent costly surprises.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-3321-21-0-6\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"53\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">Step 4 - Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Import tariffs, also known as customs duties, are <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">taxes payable<\/span><\/strong> upon goods imported into a country. For businesses importing goods from the US to Portugal, which is part of the European Union, here's how to identify your product tariff using the <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">TARIC System - European Customs<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Let\u2019s take an HS code 640399 (sports shoes) for illustration. Enter this code along with the country of origin (USA) into the search box.<\/p>\n<p>Let's say that you find a 16% duty rate. Next, you need to calculate your <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight)<\/span><\/strong> value. Suppose the CIF value for your shipment is USD 30,000. The import duty will be 16% of this value. To calculate: 16\/100 30,000 = USD 4,800. There may be additional taxes too so be prepared.<\/p>\n<p>This means the total import tariff on your shipment is USD 4,800. Make sure to prepare for these costs in your budgeting.

Besides the <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">standard tariff rates<\/span><\/strong>, other duties might come into play, depending on the goods' origin and nature. Let's delve into few examples.<\/p>\n<p>Consider <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>excise duty,<\/strong><\/span> applied to items like alcohol or tobacco. Let's say, for instance, you're importing a cask of whiskey. An excise duty - that varies for different goods - will be added to your import costs.<\/p>\n<p>Antidumping taxes are another concept. It's protection against foreign manufacturers dumping goods at a price lower than their home market price. If you're importing stoneware pots from a company suspected of dumping, you could face this duty.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, and crucially, <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">VAT (value-added tax)<\/span><\/strong> plays a significant role. In Portugal, the standard VAT rate is 23%. So, let's assume your cargo is valued at $10,000. The VAT would then be $2,300.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, these examples are illustrative, actual rates may vary. It's important to know the nuances of your import duties and taxes to prevent unexpected costs upsetting your budget. Research thoroughly or consider working with a customs expert to simplify the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-3321-21-0-8\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"55\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">Step 6 - Calculate the Customs Duties<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Calculating customs duties can seem daunting, but we're here to simplify it. Essentially, your total duty payable equals <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">customs value (CIF)<\/span><\/strong> multiplied by the duty rate, which is subject to change. Whether you're importing clothes, auto parts, or tech gadgets, the process is the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consider these scenarios:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. If you're importing a $5000 fashion inventory from the US, charged at a 12% customs rate, only the customs duty applies, which is $600. Total payable, therefore, would be $5600.<\/p>\n<p>2. Now, suppose you're importing $10,000 of computer parts, with a 3% customs duty and a 23% VAT. Here, both customs duties, $300, and the VAT, $2400, apply. Your total payable thus jumps to $12700.<\/p>\n<p>3. For shipments like $20000 worth of furniture, with anti-dumping taxes and excise duty, it gets more complex. Let's say there's a 2% customs duty, a 23% VAT, a 10% anti-dumping tax, and a 5% excise duty. Your total will hit $26600.<\/p>\n<p>Don't fret, <strong><span style=\"color: #920d12\">DocShipper<\/span><\/strong> is here to demystify this process.

Upgrading to an electronic (telex) release further simplifies the process by skipping physical documentation, making your life a bit easier. On the skies, it's the Airway Bill (AWB) that plays the part, ensuring smooth air freight. Just make sure you've all these ducks in a row to avoid any customs hiccups. A pro tip?

This document details the specifics of your goods \u2013 including quantity, description, and weight \u2013 for customs authorities on both sides of the voyage. The Packing List plays a pivotal role in the sea and air freight process as it verifies the cargo you're shipping matches what you've declared. Picture yourself as a retailer shipping ceramic mugs \u2013 errors on your Packing List could delay your shipment, cause mix-ups, and even rack up penalties. So take the time to verify every detail against your actual cargo; accuracy matters.

This certification is crucial as it means your product meets the health, safety, and environmental protection benchmarks set forth by the European market. In comparison, quality assurance is about ensuring your product meets internal standards, whereas CE certification confirms alignment with external, internationally recognized ones. Although the US has its own regulatory standards, the European CE standard may sometimes require stricter or different testing. Tips for you: ensure your items are CE certified before shipping. If not, anticipate arranging relevant tests or partner with certified manufacturers to ensure seamless transit of your goods to Portugal. While conforming to the CE standard may require additional checks or adaptations, it can keep your goods moving smoothly through customs and expand your global reach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-3321-24-0-6\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"66\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_EORI_number_Economic_Operator_Registration_Identification\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #920d12\">Your EORI number (Economic Operator Registration Identification)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Understanding EORI numbers may feel like decoding alien language, but it's quite simple.

Imagine it as a unique social security number for your business dealings, making your cargo recognizable while sailing between the US and Portugal. Applying for one? It's done through your national customs authority. Think of your EORI as a trail of breadcrumbs that tracks your exports and imports, ensuring your shipments adhere to EU guidelines. If you're planning to move goods between these two countries, this is non-negotiable - no EORI, no import-export. So, it's essential to incorporate the EORI registration into your logistics process.
