Сhanges to customs clearance rules for parcels to Romania

Dear customers,

We would like to inform you about important changes to customs clearance rules that came into effect on July 1.

From now on, all C2C parcels (from an individual to an individual) arriving in Romania from countries outside the European Union must be processed through the H1 customs declaration.

To submit the H1 declaration, Romanian customs authorities require the EORI number of the recipient (the importer — an individual).

What does this mean for recipients?

Currently, the process of obtaining an EORI number for individuals in Romania is not automated and may take a significant amount of time.

Based on our experience, obtaining an EORI number and completing further customs clearance procedures may take up to 14 days.

What should you do?

Nova Post Romania is currently informing recipients about these changes and can provide detailed step-by-step instructions on how to obtain an EORI number.

At the same time, our local partner, together with colleagues, is working on finding a systematic solution to simplify this process. Currently, there are no alternative customs clearance options available.

Please take these changes into account when planning deliveries to Romania. Due to the requirement for the recipient to obtain an EORI number, customs clearance may be delayed by up to 14 days.
