Important Notice: New Romanian Import Fee & Mandatory Shipper Declarations

The Romanian Parliament has introduced a new logistics fee of 25 RON for every parcel entering Romania that is part of a distance sale from a non‑EU country, with a declared intrinsic value below 150 EUR.This requirement entered into force on 1 January 2026

Under Article XXII, paragraph (4) of the applicable Romanian legislation, the responsibility for providing complete and accurate information regarding the origin and nature of the goods lies with the supplier of the goods, the person dispatching the parcel, or the digital platform facilitating the sale.

As a result, all the shippers, are legally obliged to provide GLS with precise information for every shipment, specifically to:

  • Confirm whether a parcel qualifies as a direct import from a non‑EU country.
  • Supply all required data elements for simplified customs procedures, including declaration‑of‑origin information.
  • Ensure that all information provided is complete, truthful, and consistent with the physical goods and commercial documentation.

GLS is legally responsible for collecting, declaring, and remitting the logistics fee to the Romanian authorities. We depend entirely on the information you provide. Therefore, any missing, incorrect, or misleading information may result in penalties, additional fees, or legal consequences. All associated costs incurred by GLS will be forwarded to the responsible customer.

Procedures Based on Your Shipping Profile

To ensure compliance while minimizing operational impact, GLS has introduced two procedural paths:

1. EU‑Based Shippers

Many of our European customers ship goods that are produced and stored within the European Union. To keep the administrative burden low, we have created a dedicated form that allows you to declare that this regulation does not apply to any of your shipments.

Please download the declaration form here and send the filled out form to tax@gls-romania.ro

In case of sporadic IOSS imports a declaration for these shipments remains available. In such cases, please follow the procedure outlined under “Irregular Shippers / Mixed Goods.”

2. Irregular Shippers / Mixed Goods

If you ship irregularly or your shipping profile does not clearly fall into the category above, you may declare your obligation regarding the logistics fee on a per‑parcel basis.

This can be done conveniently using our Online declaration
