The comparisons

Pick a market to see what the difference actually is in practice.

Most of what changes between Portugal and another European market is administrative rather than industrial. Both markets sit inside the EU single market, so there are no customs duties on the goods and the same intra community VAT mechanics apply. What differs is the tax treatment of the buyer, the language of the packaging, the moment the invoice has to be issued and how long the delivery leg takes.

For a buyer comparing Portugal with Germany, France or the Netherlands, the practical questions are about VAT thresholds and reverse charge rather than about price. The unit cost of the merchandise is close; the administration around it is what these comparison pages spell out, including what has to appear on the invoice.

The comparisons also record the differences in delivery and in the size of the runs. A programme sized for one country does not translate directly to another, because the minimum order and the launch calendar are local. Each page is written for a buyer who has already decided the goods come from Portugal and now needs to know what the rest of the programme involves.
