Before you leave Romania

• Your residence registration — Romanian citizens settling abroad can register their foreign address with the authorities; foreign residents should inform the immigration office that they are leaving. Keep any confirmation for your destination.
• Your Romanian-registered vehicle — A car leaving Romania for good is deregistered for export with the vehicle registration service. Your new country then registers it.
• Tax and social insurance — Check your tax residence position with the tax administration (ANAF) and your social insurance position before leaving.
• Proof of your residence — Destination customs often ask for proof of how long you lived outside their territory: keep your lease, utility bills and employment records.
• Contracts and subscriptions — Cancel or transfer electricity, internet, mobile and insurance contracts in good time, and keep the final bills as proof of your departure date.

Exporting your belongings from Romania

To another EU country: if Romania and your destination are both in the EU, your belongings travel freely. There is no export declaration and no customs clearance.

To a country outside the EU: we file the export declaration in Romania on your behalf. What matters most is the import side: whether your belongings enter your new country free of duty depends on that country's rules. Each destination guide explains them.

Wherever you are going, prepare a detailed inventory of your belongings. It is required at destination for almost every move outside the EU, and it is the basis of your insurance.

Moves from Romania to the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, the United States, Canada or any other non-EU country require an export declaration, which we file before departure. Overseas containers usually leave from Constanța.

How the price of your move from Romania is calculated

Like every international mover, we build your price from Romania from a few concrete factors:

• Volume — the single biggest lever on the price, in m³. The online calculator walks you through it one room at a time.
• Distance and route — from your origin address to your new home in Romania.
• Transport mode — shared road load, a truck booked only for you, FCL or LCL by sea, or air for very small cargo.
• Services — everything beyond pure transport: packing, dismantling, crating, short-term storage, extra legs by ferry.
• Access — top-floor flats with no lift, narrow lanes, long carries, external hoists when the stairs will not do.
• Customs — brokerage, declaration and port handling charges on routes to Romania that cross a customs border.
• Insurance — calculated as a percentage of the declared value of your belongings.

Frequently asked questions

Is there customs paperwork when moving to another EU country?

No. Moves between EU countries involve no export declaration and no customs clearance.

How long does a move from Romania to Spain or Italy take?

By dedicated truck, usually three to seven days. A shared load takes two to five weeks.

I am moving back to the UK from Romania. What do I need?

We file the export declaration. Before your goods arrive, you apply to HMRC for Transfer of Residence relief (ToR01) so your belongings can enter the UK duty-free.

Can I take my Romanian car with me?

Yes. It is deregistered for export, then registered in your new country. Check the destination's import rules and costs first.

How do I move from Romania to North America?

By sea container from Constanța, or via Northern European ports. Allow six to twelve weeks door to door.
