What to know about customs when shipping to Moldova
Moldova has relatively mild customs regulations when it comes to parcels. However, they still should be considered when you send a parcel to Moldova. Completion of all the existing requirements ensures timely delivery and recipient satisfaction. However, while we are involved in the process, customs revision success depends mostly on you. Here is what to keep in mind about shipping to this European country.
Necessary documents for smooth customs clearance
The CN23 declaration is a must, and this document should be filled in and attached to your parcel as soon as you know what and how you will ship. Without this document, successful package examination at the border is impossible. All signed by you. Double-check if you have attached it well so that this declaration does not get lost somewhere in transit.
Also, have all the receipts from stores and authenticity checks included. The exact list of what might be requested depends on the types of goods you plan to ship.
Duties, taxes, and restrictions for Moldova deliveries
As Moldova is outside the EU, it has its own regulations and requirements set. What are those rules to remember about duties and taxes during clearance at the Moldovan border:
- non-commercial parcels of $150 or below are free of duties, but only one package can be duty-free per day;
- a VAT of 20% is a mandatory tariff;
- a customs service fee needs to be paid as well.
All these tariffs are not relevant to you if your package contains prohibited or restricted goods. In such a case, your package can be confiscated or returned to the country of departure.
Tips for avoiding delays at customs
The most delays happen because of the improper completion of the CN23 declaration, so here are several useful tips on how to fill it in:
- be specific in your description of the goods (e.g., write the brand and model of a smartphone instead of just writing “smartphone”);
- remember that you indicate gross weight;
- write an accurate value of each item and do not try to indicate a smaller sum to avoid duties;
- indicate a correct HS Tariff Number;
- provide correct information about the recipient, including phone number and address.
As soon as you are honest and accurate in the customs declaration and don't have restricted objects in your package, there is a high chance of quick parcel examination.
Packing your parcel for Moldova: Tips and best practices
Packaging is also essential for damage-free delivery. A sturdy cardboard box is an excellent option for shipping to Moldova from the USA. What is even more crucial is to find a box of a suitable size to minimize overpaying for dimensional weight. You can compare prices for the transportation of different parcel weights on our website.
Furthermore, use any filler inside a box to prevent objects from moving. This helps to ensure a high level of protection from accidental damage during transportation.
