Vintage Carhartt wholesale — Portugal

Air freight into Lisbon runs 7–12 days for smaller lots; sea freight via Lisbon or Leixões is cheaper per piece above 50 pieces but adds four to six weeks.

Portugal applies 23% import VAT on goods entering the EU, plus customs duty on used clothing above the EU threshold. The EU has been phasing out its low-value exemptions, with a transitional duty applying from July 2026, so budget for VAT plus duty on any order. The courier collects before delivery. For bulk this is simpler than it sounds — one freight entry rather than many small parcels each attracting handling fees.

Lisbon and Porto have fast-growing vintage scenes driven by young locals and expats — Lisbon's Bairro Alto and Anjos, Porto's Cedofeita. Vinted and OLX are the main platforms. The mild climate favours shorts, tees, unlined jackets and lighter pants over heavy linings.
