Do I pay customs duty sending from Portugal to Nepal?
That depends on the customs relationship between Portugal and Nepal. 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 Nepal 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. Nepal 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 Nepal. Customs may ask for proof of value on shipments from Portugal.What cannot be sent from Portugal to Nepal?
Some items are refused on every corridor. Others are refused only on shipments into Nepal. The universal list covers cash and negotiable instruments, live animals, perishable food, loose batteries, aerosols, flammable liquids, weapons and their parts, narcotics, and human remains. We refuse these at collection in Portugal. They are not insurable.Some destinations restrict more than the universal list. Typical additions into Nepal include alcohol and tobacco above personal allowances, prescription medicines without documentation, plant material and seeds, and cosmetics in commercial quantities. Branded goods can need proof of origin. Check the rules for Nepal before booking when your item could fall in one of these categories.
Lithium batteries inside a device are accepted. Loose or spare batteries are not. Check before booking if you are unsure whether an item is accepted on the Portugal to Nepal corridor. Parcels stopped in transit return at the sender's cost. The insurance does not apply to them.
