Advice

• If you receive a City Cash refund in your shopping destination, you must get your Tax Free form approved by Customs and return it to Planet within 21 days or your credit card used for guarantee will get charged.
• If your Tax Free form has an e-Taxfree logo and you are leaving the European Union from Portugal, get your Tax Free form Customs approved at an e-Taxfree kiosk.
• If you are leaving from an airport in Portugal, but will change flights in transit at another European Union airport and the goods you are exporting will be checked through to a destination outside the European Union, get your Tax Free form Customs approved at an e-Taxfree kiosk in Portugal.
• e-Taxfree kiosks are generally located near to the Customs offices in Portugal international airports, ports and border crossings.
• If your Tax Free form doesn't have the e-Taxfree logo, ask Customs to approve it.
• At the airport, please allow enough time for Customs approval process before your flight departs.
• Make sure the goods are sealed and unused.
• At Lisbon airport, luggage with the goods for export must be checked in before Customs. You must ask check-in staff to label your luggage and return it to you. Once Customs have inspected your purchases and validated your Tax Free form, they will organise for your luggage to be transferred to the airplane.
• If you are departing a Portuguese airport but changing flights at another EU airport, and if the goods you are exporting are to be checked through to a destination outside the EU, go to Customs at the Portuguese airport and your Tax Free form will be export validated as if you were at the EU departure point.
