Temperature-controlled and ambient shipping for food producers, wine exporters, olive oil brands, and beverage companies. Export from Portugal to Europe and beyond.
Portugal is one of Europe's leading exporters of wine, olive oil, cork, tinned fish, and artisanal food products. Getting these goods to international buyers, distributors, and consumers requires careful handling — temperature control for perishables, appropriate packaging for liquids, and correct customs documentation for non-EU exports. Cargosender has specialist services for all F&B cargo categories.
Chilled +2/+8°C and ambient +15/+20°C options for perishables, dairy, and temperature-sensitive food products.
Wines, olive oils, spirits, and liquid food products packed in approved containers shipped domestically and internationally.
EUR.1 movement certificates, health certificates, and phytosanitary certificates arranged for non-EU food exports.
Foam wine shipper cartons and ISO-certified wine shippers prevent breakage of bottles during transit.
Cases of Portuguese wine, port, and spirits exported to distributors, restaurants, and consumers in the EU and worldwide.
Bottled olive oil, vinegar, and gourmet food products in carton or wooden case packaging for EU retail distribution.
Tinned sardines, tuna, bacalhau, and preserved Portuguese products shipped to grocery chains and specialty food importers.
Perishable produce with temperature control — fresh vegetables, cheeses, and charcuterie to EU food service.
Wine corks and cork-based products — Portugal's world-leading cork industry export across the EU.
Artisanal jams, honey, pastéis de nata, and premium Portuguese food gifts for international e-commerce.

Wine cases (12 bottles = 15–18 kg per case) are heavy. Shipping multiple cases by pallet is dramatically cheaper than individual case courier.
Ambient food products ship at standard rates. Chilled (+2/+8°C) products require refrigerated vehicles — 30–60% premium.
Bottles require foam or air-cell packaging to prevent breakage. Leaking liquids void carrier liability. Proper packaging is essential.
Alcoholic drinks exported outside the EU require excise duty proof and EUR.1 certificates. Duty-free export from Portugal requires proper documentation.
Standard fuel surcharges apply. Refrigerated vehicles carry slightly higher fuel surcharges than ambient transport.
Some countries have specific import requirements for food (e.g., USA FDA registration, Chinese GACC requirements for food imports). These add preparation cost.
Shipping 100+ cases of wine by pallet freight is 60–70% cheaper per case than individual courier delivery.
Join LCL sea freight consolidations for large volume exports to the USA, Brazil, or Asia — much cheaper than air.
Regular monthly deliveries to the same distributor qualify for fixed-route standing order pricing.
Refrigerated transport for chilled food products carries a refrigeration surcharge in addition to the standard fuel surcharge. This reflects the energy cost of maintaining the cold-chain throughout transit. For regular cold-chain shippers, Cargosender can negotiate a fixed combined surcharge rate to stabilise your cost of goods calculation.
Yes. Wine can be shipped B2C to most EU countries. Some EU member states restrict direct B2C wine imports (e.g., Finland, Sweden due to state monopoly laws). We advise checking destination country rules before shipping.
Wine exports to the UK require: commercial invoice, EUR.1 movement certificate (or exporter's statement on origin), VI-1 wine import certificate for quantities over 100 litres, and UK import duty may apply depending on ABV and value.
Each bottle should be individually wrapped in foam or bubble wrap, then placed in a dedicated foam wine shipper or air-cell wine carton. Don't use standard cardboard wine cartons for courier shipping — they provide insufficient protection.
