Applying for the recognition of goods after a request for examination
This service is exclusively for those who have made a request for examination in relation to the marketing of goods in Portugal under the mutual recognition procedure and who intend to go ahead with the application for authorisation or the notification regarding the marketing of goods on the Portuguese market.
If you already know whether you need to apply for authorisation or send a notification regarding the marketing of the goods you wish to sell, please go to the Mutual recognition of goods in Portugal page to access the appropriate service.
If you are unsure as to whether you should apply for authorisation to market your goods or only need to send a notification regarding the marketing of those goods, you can request an examination.
