Customs tariffs
Romania does not impose import limits or tariff barriers. For the import of pharmaceutical, chemical and sanitary products, import licenses are mandatory. In addition to anti-pollution regulations for goods that could harm the atmosphere, health and safety standards are in place. Phytosanitary certificates are mandatory for the import of goods from plants and factories.
Customs duties have been abolished since Romania joined the EU. AEO (Negotiated Economic Operator) status allows goods to be unloaded at destination and treated as customs clearance.
