Reliable Transport to the West of the Iberian Peninsula<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Portugal is a European market where Turkish companies have shown more and more interest in recent years. Sending cargo to this Atlantic coast country, from Lisbon- to Porto-, from Coimbra- to Faro-, requires special planning and an experienced logistics partner. So, what should you pay attention to when shipping from Turkey to Portugal? Which route is suitable for both your business and your budget?<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Fatih Group Logistics, we have been active in the corridor of Western Europe since 2006. We have regular flights to important cities of Portugal. Interestingly, although Portugal is at the westernmost end of the Iberian Peninsula, transportation is more practical than you might think thanks to the route through Spain. Last month, a textile company customer said, -We thought Portugal was too far away, but we were surprised by your delivery time-. Yes, there is distance, but with the right planning, efficient transportation is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are different ways to ship cargo to Portugal and each has its own advantages. As Fatih Group Logistics, we serve our customers in all modes of transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transportation by Air:<\/strong> Lisbon Portela Airport is the ideal option for emergency shipments. Portugal airline shipping provides delivery within 24-48 hours. It is especially preferred for electronic goods, medical equipment or valuable cargo. In the fashion industry, sample collections can be delivered quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shipping by Sea:<\/strong> The ports of Lisbon and Leix\u00f5es (Porto) are an economical option for large volume loads. Container shipment by Portuguese sea freight takes 12-16 days. It is very preferred in bulk product shipments such as furniture, marble, textiles. Especially ships passing from Akdeniz- to Atlantik- use these ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transportation by rail:<\/strong> Portugal railway transportation can be an alternative for companies that want environmentally friendly transportation. Railway connections via Spain are available, but less common than by road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Road transport from Turkey to Portugal continues to be the most preferred method in terms of cost-benefit balance. Our latest model Mercedes TIR-s used by Fatih Grup Lojistik- on the Portuguese route provide safe service on long routes of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest advantage of road transport is the possibility of door-to-door delivery. We can pick up the cargo from your factory in Istanbul and deliver it directly to your customer's warehouse in Lisbon. No interim transfer, no additional handling \u2047 direct transportation. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n With our GPS tracking systems, you can instantly see whether your cargo is passing through Spain or crossing the Portuguese border. This transparency is one of the qualities that our customers value most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have to be realistic about transit time. The average road transport time from Ankara- to Lisbon-a is 6.5-8 days. For shipments from Istanbul, this period can be reduced to 6-7,5 days. Northern cities like Porto are a little closer - around 6-7 days. The route usually runs through Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, France and Spain. Alternatively, the route Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain can also be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is necessary to pass through Spain - through Madrid to the west of Portugal - entry is made. This long itinerary requires an experienced driver's staff. Our drivers know this route very well, they know which rest areas are useful, which border crossings are less busy at what hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Portuguese route is also active in partial freight transportation. If you don't have enough cargo to fill a full truck, that's fine. Even if it is 2-3 pallets, we can send it to Portugal. Thanks to our weekly flights to Portugal, your partial load departs without much waiting. Our e-commerce companies and SMEs who have just entered the Portuguese market use this service a lot - first make small test shipments and see the market reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With more than 18 years of international transportation experience, Fatih Group Logistics turns its knowledge gained in Portugal transportation into customer satisfaction. With our Ankara center and Istanbul branch, we organize shipments from all over Turkey to the westernmost end of the Iberian Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having our own fleet of trucks provides a great advantage in remote destinations such as Portugal. We don't drive subcontractors, everything is under our control. Our drivers are long-distance experienced professionals who know the European roads very well. Especially experienced in the transition from Spain to Portugal - border procedures, tolls, delivery points dominate all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2047 Our principle of doing business correctly, fast, error-free, continuous and transparent- is also fully applied in Portuguese shipments. You can track every stage of your cargo from departure to delivery in Lisbon. We take a proactive approach to customs procedures. Portuguese customs comply with EU standards but have some special procedures. Our team knows these procedures very well and checks your documents in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A client of ours said this last week:-We have been exporting to Europe for 5 years, we made our first shipment to Portugal with you. We had no problems, everything happened on time.- Such comments are the biggest source of motivation for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To be transparent about Portugal shipping prices, the distance is slightly higher than some other European countries because it is long. However, with the right planning, the cost can be optimized. As Fatih Group, we do transparent pricing, all cost items are clarified from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Factors affecting prices: the weight and volume of the load, the location of the destination city (Lisbon and Porto main centers), special requirements (cold chain, ADR), seasonal factors (tourism season in summer), tolls in Spain and Portugal (high tolls), and the status of the return load. We talk about all these details during the offer phase, we prevent surprise costs later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since Portugal is a member of the European Union, customs procedures are fully compliant with EU standards. Portuguese customs authorities (Autoridade Tribut\u00e1ria e Aduaneira) work professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Particular attention is paid to the following issues at Portuguese customs: the invoice value is in accordance with the market value, the HS codes are selected correctly, the certificate of origin is original.
