Shipping & Handling

Shipment of your order

After you have made your purchase, you will receive a confirmation. As soon as we are ready to send your purchase, we will send you the shipping details. 

Please note that all delivery time frames are estimations and that they may vary during busier trading periods.

Forwarders

We ship with DHL Worldwide and UPS in the USA.
Currently, we don't ship orders to P.O. Boxes (Post Office Boxes) in the USA.
In case we need to change the forwarder, so we can offer our best service, we will inform you on the shipping confirmation email.
If desired you can also have your purchase sent for next-day delivery (available for select destinations only – confirmation on checkout). For estimates on cost please verify on the checkout.

Liability in case of damage or loss during transit time

Once the order is shipped Claus Porto cannot be held responsible of anything that may happen to your order. In any event you may contact us to support@clausporto.com and we will gladly answer all of your questions.

Shipment tracking

Claus Porto will always send you an email with the tracking details of your order.
You will be given a link to have direct access to the status of your shipment. If we cannot provide the link you can go to the forwarders’ website and use your tracking code.

Delivery

Orders are shipped to the delivery address provided by the customer at checkout. Customers are responsible for ensuring that the shipping information is accurate and complete.
All shipments are sent without a signature requirement. If the recipient is not available at the time of delivery, the carrier may leave the package at the delivery address or in a secure location, including any delivery preference or safe place previously designated by the customer through the carrier’s services (such as UPS My Choice), even if such preference was not specifically set for the relevant shipment.
If delivery cannot be completed, the shipment may be returned to our warehouse. In such cases, shipping charges are non-refundable.

In accordance with applicable U.S. commercial practices, risk of loss and title for all orders pass to the customer once the shipment is handed over to the carrier. Claus Porto shall not be liable for loss, theft, damage, misdelivery, or non-receipt of packages occurring after the order has been transferred to the carrier, nor once the shipment is marked as delivered according to the carrier’s tracking information.

Upon delivery, customers are encouraged to inspect the package as soon as reasonably possible. Any apparent issues, such as missing items or visible damage, must be reported to Claus Porto within fourteen (14) days of the delivery date. Claims submitted after this period may not be accepted, except where required by applicable law.

If a package is marked as delivered by the carrier but cannot be located, customers are required to contact the carrier directly to initiate an investigation or claim. While Claus Porto may, at its discretion, assist in communicating with the logistics provider, such assistance does not constitute acceptance of liability or responsibility for the shipment.

For delivery-related inquiries, customers may contact us at support@clausporto.com.

Delivery address changes

Once the order is confirmed and in our system no changes can be made on our end.
Our customers are responsible for providing the correct shipping information. We kindly recommend checking and confirming all shipping details carefully before completing your order, as changes cannot be made once the order has been confirmed.

Shipping restrictions

Shipping restrictions apply to products containing substances which, as constituted, are considered hazardous to air transport. These include some of our liquid products containing alcohol, which cannot be shipped to certain states or territories.
If you have added one of these products to your cart and the shipping address is in a country where such restrictions apply, you are required to remove your product(s). Alternatively, you can change the shipping address to a destination where such restrictions do not apply.
For further information, please contact support@clausporto.com

Free Shipping Policy

Free shipping for eligible destinations is applied only to the final amount payable on the order, that is, after all discounts, promotional codes, and campaigns have been applied.
This means that even if the original order value qualifies for free shipping, a promotion or discount that reduces the final amount below the minimum threshold will result in standard shipping fees being charged.
Please refer to the “Delivery Times and Shipping Fees” table to verify the applicable minimum threshold per destination.

Shipping Costs and Fees

Please note that Claus Porto is not liable for any customs or duty taxes applicable in the country of receipt.

Orders for delivery in the United States are shipped from our warehouse in the United States, so no customs or import duties apply.

For all other destinations, orders are shipped from our warehouse in Portugal. Please be aware that the delivery estimates do not include time required by your country’s customs authorities. Customs processing may delay your delivery by up to 5 business days.

Due to Brexit, the United Kingdom is now considered a non-EU country and, therefore, since 1 January 2021, parcel shipments to this destination are subject to customs clearance and potentially subject to additional fees and taxes. Claus Porto has no control over these costs and cannot be held responsible for them. Additional information can be consulted here. These handling fees will depend on the value of the shipment:

• for orders up to 135 GBP (aprox. 150€): the standard UK VAT in force will apply.
• for orders over 135 GBP (aprox. 150€): additional duties/taxes may apply.

All prices listed on our website exclude taxes or duties that may be applied under the import laws of your country.
