Shipping to Romania

Shipping from the USA to Romania

Gelle Transport arranges freight from the United States to Romania through vetted international air and ocean partners, building on our experience as a Kansas City trucking company since 2014. We collect your cargo in the US, prepare it for export, book the international leg and coordinate arrival in Romania, with routing and availability confirmed before every booking.

Transatlantic freight is frequent and competitive. Most European imports are subject to VAT at the point of entry, and goods must meet local product standards.

Air freight to Romania

Air cargo from the United States to Romania normally arrives at Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP). Air freight is the best choice for urgent, compact and high-value shipments such as electronics, spare parts, documents and medical supplies. Typical door-to-door transit from the USA to this region is about 2–6 days, depending on the origin airport, connections and customs clearance. Air cargo is charged on chargeable weight — the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight.

Sea freight to Romania

Ocean freight to Romania usually arrives at Port of Constanța. Choose a full container (FCL) for larger volumes or a shared container (LCL) for smaller consignments. Typical ocean transit from the USA to this region is about 2–4 weeks, depending on the US port, sailing schedule and transhipment.

Customs and import documents for Romania

Romania is a member of the European Union customs union. Imports from the USA are declared once at the EU point of entry, with import VAT and any duties based on the EU tariff. The importer needs an EORI number.

Most shipments to Romania need the following. Product-specific requirements vary, so we confirm them before your cargo leaves the US:

• Commercial invoice with item values
• Detailed packing list
• Bill of lading or air waybill
• Importer registration / tax ID in Romania
• Certificates of origin or conformity where required
• Permits for regulated goods (food, medicines, chemicals)

Import duties and taxes are assessed in Romania in the local currency (Romanian leu (RON)) and are normally paid by the importer. US export rules also apply — some goods, technologies and destinations need an export licence.
