Do I pay customs duty sending from Portugal to Bahrain?
That depends on the customs relationship between Portugal and Bahrain. Parcels moving inside one customs territory, such as between two EU member states, need no declaration. They attract no import duty and no import VAT.
Where the corridor crosses a customs border, a declaration accompanies every parcel. Booking from Portugal generates the required form from the contents and value you enter. The recipient in Bahrain pays any import duty and local VAT on arrival. Customs calculates both on the declared value. Declare honestly. Understated values are the most common cause of parcels held at the border.
Gifts below the local de-minimis threshold are often exempt from duty. Bahrain sets that threshold, not the carrier. Restrictions on excise goods such as alcohol and tobacco apply on every corridor. They apply even inside the EU.
Keep the commercial invoice or receipt available until the parcel arrives in Bahrain. Customs may ask for proof of value on shipments from Portugal.What cannot be sent from Portugal to Bahrain?

Typical additions into Bahrain include alcohol and tobacco above personal allowances, prescription medicines without documentation, plant material and seeds, and cosmetics in commercial quantities.
