Shipping Services in Romania: What methods are used?
When transporting to Romania, you have several different options. Each has its own advantages.
Romania Shipping by Road
Road transport is the most common and flexible method in the Romanian transport sector. Why? - Mm-hmm. Because it offers door-to-door service and the distance is relatively short. As Fatih Group Logistics, we organize regular flights from Turkey to Romania with our latest model Mercedes TIR fleet.
The route usually runs through Bulgaria - Bulgaria is also a member of the EU, so border crossings are quick and easy. We enter Bulgaria via Kapıkule border gate and reach Romania via Sofia. Experience is very important on this route. Each country has its own road fares, break regulations, transit rules. Our team knows this route very well with 18 years of experience. Which border crossing is faster, at which hours the density is less, which roads in Romania are better - we know all of them.
The road transport time from Turkey to Romania is usually between 4-6 days. We provide transportation around Bucharest-e 4-5 days, Konstanca-ya 4-5 days, Cluj-Napoca-ya 5-6 days. With our GPS-tracked vehicles, you can see where your cargo is at any time. Our customers appreciate this transparency very much, especially in time-sensitive shipments.
A customer of our automotive spare parts supplier recently received the products we sent for our distributor in Bucharest just in time. Fatih Grup-un's speed and reliability in Romania transportation was excellent- he said. This kind of feedback is what makes us the happiest. The biggest advantage in road transport is that we can offer flexible solutions for loads of different weights and volumes. Whether it is a partial load or a full vehicle, there are options suitable for every need. Since Romania is an EU member, customs procedures are relatively quick, value-added tax refund procedures easy.
Romania Shipping by Sea
The sea route is an economical option for large volumes of commercial loads. The Port of Konstanca on the Black Sea coast of Romania is one of the largest and busiest ports of the Black Sea. Your cargo departing from Turkey's Ambarlı, Istanbul or Samsun ports reaches Konstanca- in approximately 3-5 days.
FCL (full container) or LCL (partial load) options are available in sea transportation. Depending on the size of your cargo, we can determine the most suitable solution together. The sea route makes a lot of sense, especially for bulky loads such as furniture, building materials, heavy machinery, large amounts of textiles. Short-distance maritime transport in the Black Sea is advantageous in terms of both cost and environment. A furniture manufacturer customer sends containers to Konstanca- on a regular basis.-The sea route is very short, economical and efficient in Karadeniz-. Fatih Grup-un says the port coordination is perfect-.
Shipping to Romania by Airline
Do you have urgent shipments? The airline is for you. In Romania shipping air freight, delivery within 2-3 days is possible. Henri Coandă Airport (Bucharest), one of the important cargo centers of Eastern Europe, operates quickly with its modern infrastructure.
The airline is especially preferred for valuable cargo, electronic parts, spare parts, medical supplies, fashion products or time-critical shipments. Romania's automotive and technology sector is developing, and airlines are frequently used in these areas. The cost is higher than other methods, but the advantages it offers in terms of speed and safety compensate for this. As Fatih Group, we are able to offer competitive prices thanks to our agreements with leading air cargo companies.
Railway Transport
Rail is an emerging option in the Romanian transport sector. Romania's railway infrastructure is developing, modernization projects with EU funds are ongoing. Turkey-Bulgaria-Romania railway connection can be used. Especially for large volumes and regular shipments, the railway can be economical. As Fatih Group, we closely follow alternative transportation modes and offer our customers the latest options.

Shipping Prices in Romania: Cost Analysis and Budget Planning
Romania shipping prices vary depending on many factors. It is not possible to give a uniform price because each post has different features.
Among the main factors that determine the price comes the method of transportation - the airline is the most expensive, the sea route is economical, the road is located in the middle. The volume and weight of the load are inherently important; More products means more costs. Your point of departure also affects; Does it start from İstanbul-, Ankara- or İzmir-? The place of delivery is also important - Central cities such as Bucharest or remote places such as the Maramureş region in the north? The longer the distance, the higher the cost. The urgency is another factor that affects the price. Your insurance preference should also be taken into account.
Factors such as fuel prices, exchange rates, seasonal intensity can vary. We recommend that you contact us for the most up-to-date and accurate price. We prepare a free offer and offer the most suitable solution for your cargo.

Which products can be sent to Romania?
Sending commercial products to Romania is usually hassle-free because it is an EU member country. But there are still some EU standards and local regulations.
Commonly sent products include textile products (ready-to-wear, fabrics, home textiles - Turkish textiles are in demand in Romania-), automotive spare parts (Romania-'s automotive sector is strong, there is a Dacia factory), electronic components and parts, food products (nuts, pulses, spices, coffee), furniture and decoration products, construction materials (marble, ceramics, building chemicals), machinery parts and equipment, white goods. Romania's growing economy and growing purchasing power are driving demand for Turkish products.
When it comes to products that are restricted or require attention, EU food safety regulations for food products apply - health certificates, analysis reports, content labeling (in Romanian or English) are very important. For electronic devices, CE marking, RoHS directive, WEEE directive compliance is a must. REACH regulation is valid for chemicals, safety data sheets and registration documents are required. Special approvals and certificates may be required for medical devices. If you have any doubts about the product you will send, ask us. We have been doing this for years, we know the EU and Romanian legislation.
Customs Procedures and Required Documents
Customs clearance in the Romanian shipping process is quite simple due to the fact that it is an EU member country. But we still need regular paperwork.
The basic customs documents are: Commercial invoice (must be detailed, HS codes should be specified, EUR value should be shown correctly), paking list (what is in which parcel, net weight, gross weight, dimensions), certificate of origin (approved by the Turkish Chamber of Commerce), ATR1 circulation certificate (very important within the scope of the Turkey-EU Customs Union!), CMR certificate (international road transport document), and insurance certificate.
ATR1 certification is particularly important. Under the Customs Union agreement between Turkey and the EU, the customs duty for industrial products is zero. An ATR1 certificate is required for this. Textile and ready-to-wear products are also included in this scope. Without ATR1, you can pay high customs duty. We advise our customers to buy ATR1 and we help them in the application process.
Additional product-specific documents may also be required. For food products, health certificate, analysis report, content labeling (in Romanian or English, allergen notification is required), production certificate is required. CE declaration of conformity, technical document, user manual can be requested for electronic devices. Chemicals require a safety data sheet, REACH registration number. Technical certificates, certificates of conformity can be requested for automotive parts.
