UK→Romania is one of our most regular European routes — a steady mix of Romanians returning home with established lives in the UK, expat professionals heading to Bucharest and Cluj for tech and finance roles, and second-home buyers across Transylvania and the Black Sea coast.

Sole-use trucks run via the Channel Tunnel, Germany and Hungary. Typical transit 5–10 days door-to-door depending on the destination region.

Customs & paperwork

Export from the UK: EAD and EORI submission, handled by us.

Import to Romania: customs declaration (declarație vamală) in Romanian, with inventory and proof of relocation. Romania is in the EU but not Schengen for goods (Schengen land border entry begins 2024–25 for people; goods checks at internal EU land borders are minimal). Used personal household goods owned and in use prior to relocation are imported duty-free under EU "transfer de reședință" relief.

Required documents typically include: passport, CNP (Romanian personal numerical code) if you have one, proof of Romanian address, inventory in Romanian. We prepare and translate as part of the service.

Vehicles attract registration tax (timbru de mediu) and need re-registration with the local DRPCIV office.

FAQ — UK to Romania

How long does a UK to Romania move take?
Sole-use road: 5–10 days door-to-door. Groupage: 3–5 weeks. Air freight: 2–4 days. Bucharest and Western Romania (Timișoara, Arad) sit at the faster end of that range.
Do I need a CNP before moving?
Helpful but not always essential. A CNP (cod numeric personal) makes Romanian customs and address registration smoother; if you don’t have one yet, we work with proof of relocation and your passport.
Can you handle delivery to rural Transylvanian villages?
Yes — including transhipment to a smaller vehicle for narrow village access. Maramureș and rural Transylvania are common destinations.
Can I bring my car?
Yes — UK cars (LHD or RHD) can be imported and re-registered in Romania, with timbru de mediu environmental tax and DRPCIV registration. RHD cars are road-legal in Romania.
