Portugal has become one of the latest destinations covered by Eurotax’s B2B Alcohol Excise Duty service, making it easier than ever for European wineries, champagne houses and wine merchants to sell directly to professional customers.
If you are shipping wine, Champagne or sparkling wines to restaurants, hotels, wine shops, distributors or other businesses in Portugal that do not hold an excise authorisation, Eurotax now acts as your Certified Consignee, ensuring full compliance with Portuguese excise regulations while simplifying your logistics.
Why is a Certified Consignee required in Portugal?
Since the implementation of the new European excise duty framework under Council Directive (EU) 2020/262, businesses moving alcohol products already released for consumption between EU Member States must comply with new procedures.
When selling alcohol B2B to a professional customer without an excise number, the shipment cannot simply be sent directly. A Certified Consignee in the destination country must receive the goods, complete the required excise formalities and ensure the payment of excise duties.
Without this solution, exporters often face:
- administrative complexity;
- customs delays;
- additional registrations;
- increased compliance risks.
