How we pack for the Romania route
The crossing matters. Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Germany, Austria and Hungary into Romania means the load is restrained for road and sea movement, and anything moisture sensitive gets a barrier layer before it is wrapped.
- Glass taped and faced, corners protected, surface never compressed
- Foam-lined travel frames or cases for valuable works
- Work carried and loaded upright, never flat-stacked
- Moisture barrier applied for ferry and winter routes

Frequently asked questions
How long does artwork shipping to Romania take?
Transit is typically 4–5 days, routing via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Germany, Austria and Hungary into Romania. Economy parcel and groupage services take longer because they run to a network schedule. We give you a band rather than a promise, and we tell you if your deadline is not realistic before you book.
What does it cost to ship to Romania?
Guide prices for this service start at Instant Quote. Crated, high-value, oversized or time-critical consignments priced on the specifics. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
Do I need customs paperwork for Romania?
Yes, you should plan for it. Export declaration and Romanian import entry. Personal effects need a detailed valued inventory. We prepare the packing list and transport documents; formal clearance is confirmed at quotation.
Do you build travel frames or cases?
For valuable or repeatedly-travelled work, yes — a reusable case is often cheaper over two or three movements than repeated soft packing. For a single journey we usually specify foam-lined protection instead.
Can you deliver to a gallery on an install date?
Yes. Tell us the install window when you request a quote and we will plan the crossing and driver hours around it rather than around ours.
