Our export packing service exists for professional export packing bound for Bulgaria: goods that need proper packing and export preparation before they travel, not a bare label and a conveyor belt.
Routing runs via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania or Serbia, then the A1 Trakia or A2 Hemus motorways. Transit is typically 4–6 days from mainland Great Britain, and roughly 1,600 road miles from London to Sofia.
Customs paperwork for Bulgaria is covered further down this page.

How we pack for the Bulgaria route
The crossing matters. Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania or Serbia means the load is restrained for road and sea movement, and anything moisture sensitive gets a barrier layer before it is wrapped.
- Timber cases and skids built to the item, not to a catalogue size
- Load restrained and strapped for road and ferry movement
- Every piece labelled and numbered against the packing list
- Weights and dimensions recorded for the paperwork

Frequently asked questions
How long does professional export packing to Bulgaria take?
Transit is typically 4–6 days, routing via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania or Serbia. 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 Bulgaria?
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 Bulgaria?
Yes, you should plan for it. Export declaration and Bulgarian import entry. Where the route runs through Serbia there is an additional non-EU transit stage. We prepare the packing list and transport documents; formal clearance is confirmed at quotation.
Do you supply the export documentation?
We prepare the transport documentation and the packing list, and we will talk you through what a customs broker or your buyer will need. We are hauliers and packers, not a customs agent, so where formal clearance is required we work alongside your broker rather than pretending to replace them.
Can you crate on site?
Crating can be arranged where a piece genuinely needs it. Whether it is done on site or prepared beforehand, and the cost, is confirmed at quotation before we start. We do not offer specialist conservation packing.
