Portuguese Import Requirements:

Automotive Parts to Lisbon: A car manufacturer in Lisbon sourced 450+ components from 7 Chinese cities (Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Qingdao, Wuhan, Chongqing), including engine parts, electronics, and safety systems. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 4 days, shipped via CIF terms to Port of Lisbon in a 40ft container, and coordinated rail transport to their factory.
