Good to know for Romania
Choose the airport nearest the receiver’s town — Cluj and Iași save a long drive from Bucharest.
Romania is in the European Union, so everything sent from Great Britain goes through EU customs: a full packing list and customs declaration are needed, and the receiver may pay import VAT and, on some goods, duty. People moving to Romania for good can often claim relief on their used personal belongings (transfer of residence) — the receiver applies to the local customs office.
What people send to Romania
Suitcases and boxes of personal effects, gifts, household goods, documents and commercial consignments of any size — from a single box to a full household.
Guides: clothes · food · medicines · phones & laptops · moving abroad · student baggage.
