Clearing Bulgaria customs

Since Bulgaria is a part of the European Union, they allow for the free movement of goods. That means that shipments that originate in the EU don’t have to worry about paying duties and taxes when clearing customs. Packages from other destinations only have to pay fees when they are worth above €150 – if they are worth less, then they will clear customs without any other charges.

To make sure the right fees are applied, be sure to properly declare the nature and value of your goods. Failure to do so could result in extra charges and delays in clearing customs.

Collection & delivery

Collection

It’s fast and easy to make a booking with ParcelCompare, and you may be surprised at how quickly we can turn up to collect your parcel – the same day for locations throughout the UK. This isn’t the case for bulky shipments however – you’ll need to book a day in advance for packages heavier than 50kg.

If you have any special requirements for your shipment, please let us know when you make your booking. You will also need to be on hand when your courier arrives to assist in loading and unloading your goods.

Bulgaria delivery

We will make deliveries between 9am and 7pm on normal working days. We will not make deliveries on weekends and public holidays, and we cannot be more specific about when your package will arrive – if you’d like it to arrive at a specific time, you can make use of our timed delivery services.

As a standard, we will attempt three deliveries, though some of our carriers like DPD only make one attempt before returning your parcel to a depot for collection. So, it’s a good idea to make sure someone is available to receive your shipment on the allotted day.

Tracking your delivery to Bulgaria

Parcelcompare have the safest hands possible, since we only work with the very best couriers in the world. To prove it, we give you real-time tracking so that you can keep an eye on your package every step of the way. You can see every stop that it makes on the journey, so you always know what is going on.

And in the very unlikely event that there is a problem or delay with your shipment, we’ll make sure that you’re in the loop by emailing you and your recipient with the details.

Sending gifts to Bulgaria

Just like when you’re sending a normal package to Bulgaria, gifts that originate in the EU can enter the country without having to worry about duties and taxes. This is also the case for gifts sent from outside the European Union that are worth less than €45 – though gifts worth more are treated as normal packages.

To take advantage of this gift exemption, it should be made clear that your goods are being sent as a gift. You’ll also need to explain the value and nature of your goods, since simply declaring "gifts" can lead to delays or extra charges in clearing customs.

Packaging your parcel

When you carry a box through your house, it’s fairly likely that it will take a bump or knock on the way to its new home. You can just imagine how likely this is to be true on a global scale, so it’s vital that you properly package your goods to make sure they arrive safely.

There are three key points to keep in mind when packing your goods.

1. GET A STURDY BOX

There’s nothing better for protecting your goods than a brand new, double corrugated cardboard box. Old box’s may seem sturdy, but can often burst or be crushed on the journey.

2. PACK THE CONTENTS

Make sure your goods are well wrapped before putting them in your box. Use plenty of packaging material to suspend your goods, making sure that no part of your goods is touching the walls of your box.

3. SEAL IT UP

Use a generous amount of packing tape to seal your box. Wrap three times in a Union Flag pattern, with extra tape on the seals and corners of your box. Then add labels to your box so that all information is clearly visible.

Holidays and gift giving occasions in Bulgaria

There’s plenty of opportunity to party in Bulgaria, and every now and then we like to join the rest of the country in celebration. That’s why we don’t deliver on public holidays and weekends, which you should keep in mind when planning a delivery of something festive.

We’ve collected Bulgaria’s public holidays below – so make sure to aim for delivery on another day.
