Necessary documents for smooth customs clearance

Place all the provided documents in a transparent pouch next to the label on the box.

Duties, taxes, and restrictions for Bulgaria deliveries

As long as you send goods valued at 150 EUR or less, you do not need to pay duties when you send a parcel to Bulgaria. For this EU country, it is only a VAT of 20% and a fee for customs clearance services.

Remember not to send restricted items, or your parcel will not pass clearance control. The list of goods and objects that are prohibited in Bulgaria includes:

• dairy, eggs, fresh meat, or home-cooked food;
• ammunition, weapons, pepper spray, and fireworks;
• compressed air and gas cylinders and fire extinguishers;
• perfumes and aftershave, nail polish.

Do not hesitate to contact Meest customer support if unsure about your objects.

Tips for avoiding delays at customs

Ensure having all the required documentation is filled in properly and all the receipts are attached if you are sending high-value objects. This, as well as the absence of restricted goods and products, would ensure a rapid customs check. Furthermore, provide only accurate information about the goods' value, otherwise, your package can be held for additional checks and clearance control.

Packing your parcel for Bulgaria: Tips and best practices

A convenient drop-off service comes with the necessity to pack your goods yourself. Proper packaging is key to safe delivery and damage prevention, so you should take it seriously and prepare your parcel according to the standards and requirements.

Some tips for proper packaging that can also save your money:

1. Pick a durable cardboard box that fits your goods perfectly. Too big boxes make your items move freely, increasing the possibility of damage.
2. Fill in the space in the box with any filler that you have at home.
3. Seal the box with wide tape.

Given that dimensional value is prioritized, selecting a well-sized box is the best solution to not paying extra for shipping. If possible, select a rectangular box for more convenient storage on a ship or plane.
