2、 Shenzhen to Portugal eyewear sea clearance requirements: CE+REACH+Portugal specific threshold. The three core aspects of customs clearance in Portugal:

1. CE certification - EU mandatory access

Sunglasses are tested according to EN ISO 12312-1:2022 for transmittance, UV resistance, and impact resistance (6mm steel ball 45m/s impact), and the lens must be labeled with filter category (0-4 categories). The optical frame is tested according to EN ISO 12870. The CE mark must be printed on the product/packaging and the technical documents must be kept for 10 years.

2. REACH compliance - Nickel release testing (effective by the end of April 2026)

EN 16128:2025 will be released in October 2025 and will become the national standard of Portugal by the end of April 2026 at the latest. The limit is 0.5 μ g · cm ⁻² · week ⁻¹. The new standard specifies that coating testing is not a screening test, and all components that fail the coating test must undergo migration testing.

3. INFARMED Declaration of Conformity (Portugal specific threshold)

According to the EU CE 765/2008 regulation, the recipient of glasses must provide an import license from the Portuguese National Medicines Agency (INFARMED).

1. Core document list (pre reviewed by our company):

-Commercial invoice (including 10 digit HS, CIF value, and both parties' EORI numbers)

-INFARMED Declaration of Conformity (Portugal specific)

-Packing list, certificate of origin, original bill of lading

-CE certificate and testing report (EN ISO 12312-1, EN ISO 12870)

-REACH Declaration and Nickel Release Report (EN 16128:2025)

-Portuguese product labels and instructions

2. Portugal Customs Clearance Process (Lisbon Cooperative Agency):

-Submit a declaration form through the Portuguese customs electronic system before the goods arrive at the port, indicating the HS code, value, and product description

-Customs focuses on verifying the authenticity of the value of goods and the consistency of documents

-Payment of customs duties and 23% VAT on behalf of others, with a customs clearance time of approximately 3-7 working days

-The goods must be declared within 48 hours after arrival at the port, and demurrage fees (0.1% of the value of the goods per day) will be charged if the deadline is exceeded

3、 Shipping packaging requirements for glasses from Shenzhen to Portugal: Three layers in place to cope with high inspection rates

Glasses are precision products that are prone to damage due to shipping bumps and repeated loading and unloading. They must be shock resistant, pressure resistant, and moisture resistant. Portuguese wooden packaging must be fumigated and stamped with IPPC logo.

|Inner layer | wrapped in soft cloth or eyeglass bag and placed in the lens box, the lens is covered with protective film, and the vacuum box is attached to the lens|

|Middle layer | filled with sufficient cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl cotton), and the mirror box is fixed without shaking|

|Outer layer | Five layer double anti corrugated cardboard box, sealed with "work" letter, tape ≥ 5cm; labeled with "fragile", "upward" and "Keep Dry" in both Chinese and English|

Wooden packaging must have the IPPC fumigation label (ISPM 15), and any unclear or damaged packaging may face return. Single box ≤ 25kg; product label "Made in China"; Place desiccant inside the box; The batch number corresponds exactly to the invoice.

4、 Five compliance red lines for shipping glasses from Shenzhen to Portugal by sea

1. CE certification cannot be skipped: it will be deducted upon arrival at the port without CE certification. It is recommended to initiate certification 2-3 months in advance.

2. Nickel release testing will take effect at the end of April 2026: EN 16128:2025 will become the national standard in Portugal, with a limit of 0.5 μ g · cm ⁻² · week ⁻¹.

3. INFARMED Declaration of Conformity - Portugal specific threshold: Imported glasses must provide an import license from the Portuguese National Medical Products Administration (INFARMED). This is a clear difference between Portugal and most EU countries, and it needs to be processed in advance.

4. VAT starts from 0 euros: Portugal has no import VAT exemption limit and is required to pay 23% VAT regardless of the value of the goods.

Starting from July 1, 2026, tariff exemptions will be lifted: a tariff of 3 euros will be levied on each item. Suggest switching to full container DDP mode in advance.
