Full Details
Posting a watch to Romania is permitted with no licensing requirement; the compliance risk is valuation. Romanian Customs Authority (AVR) assesses charges on the declared value from the CN22/CN23 or courier entry: import VAT/GST at 19% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. EU EUR 22 import-VAT exemption ended; all commercial parcels into Romania attract 19% VAT regardless of value. Customs duty 0% under EUR 150; standard rate above. Romania joined Schengen for air/sea borders 31 March 2024. High-value watches should travel by insured courier with formal customs entry — postal channels cap indemnity far below luxury-watch values, and undervaluation to dodge charges voids insurance and invites seizure.
Use an insured courier service with formal entry for anything valuable, declare the true price, and keep the invoice — undervaluing a shipped watch is the classic seizure-plus-penalty case.

Posta Română and AVR handle inbound parcels at Bucharest IMC. Personal-import parcels under EUR 150 attract 19% VAT only; above attracts customs duty + VAT + clearance fee. Prohibited mail: narcotics, counterfeit goods, CITES species, asbestos.
