Before sending goods to Romania, it’s essential to understand the country’s import regulations, alongside the rules imposed by the European Union. Post-Brexit, shipping to Romania has become more complex, with additional checks, tariffs, and regulations to consider.
Parcels entering Romania from outside the EU may be subject to customs and duty fees, typically charged to the recipient. UK-based senders are required to include a commercial invoice with shipments. This document enables customs officials to determine if imported items are subject to duties or VAT and calculate applicable charges.
Find out how Brexit affects your shipping plans and costs on our dedicated page. At PACK & SEND, we’re here to help you find the perfect packing and shipping solution for your needs.
Some packages may be exempt from customs charges, such as personal effects and gifts, provided they comply with EU import regulations. Additionally, parcels valued under €22 may also be exempt from import charges.
Ensure your package meets Customs Duty and VAT-free allowances by following the shipping instructions issued by the Romanian Customs Authority. For more detailed guidance, visit their official website.
Common issues to avoid include:
Failing to complete customs paperwork correctly (e.g., missing sections or placing information in the wrong fields).
Attempting to send prohibited or restricted items.
Providing vague item descriptions (e.g., replace “clothes” with “2 x men’s cotton shirts, made in Ireland”).
Omitting necessary licences and certificates for restricted goods.
At PACK & SEND, we have extensive experience in navigating Romania’s customs requirements and will work closely with you to ensure your shipment is fully compliant.
Romania has its own import regulations, which must be considered alongside EU requirements.
It’s crucial to verify which items can be imported, in what quantities, and which items are prohibited. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in parcels being returned, seized, or destroyed, often at an additional cost.
Examples of restricted or prohibited items include:
Prohibited: Weapons, explosives, and specific controlled substances.
Restricted: Certain food items, including meat, milk, and dairy products. Additional documentation may be required for these goods.
