Export to Romania

Romania has a growing car and engineering industry and a large consumer market. It buys Indian vehicles and parts, machinery, chemicals, medicines and textiles. Constanța on the Black Sea is its main port and a gateway to Central Europe through the Danube.

What it buys from India

• Vehicles, auto parts and machinery
• Chemicals and medicines
• Textiles, garments and iron and steel products

Import rules on their side

• Iron, steel and aluminium goods fall under the EU carbon border rules (CBAM), so buyers will ask for embedded-emissions data. Chemicals in products must meet REACH, many goods need CE marking, and deforestation rules (EUDR) apply to coffee, rubber, wood and leather from 30 December 2026 for large and medium importers.
• Food must meet EU maximum residue levels (MRLs) for pesticides, which are often stricter than Indian limits, and some Indian foods are on the EU list for extra border checks with official test reports. Check your product on Access2Markets before you ship.
• Retail labels must be in Romanian; food is controlled by the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority (ANSVSA).

Practical tips

• The Black Sea region is near the war in Ukraine; check war-risk insurance and freight terms for Constanța calls.
• Romanian distributors often also serve Moldova and Bulgaria; ask about their regional reach.
• European buyers usually move to open account or documents against payment (D/P) once trust is built. For the first orders ask for an advance or an LC, and use ECGC credit insurance when you give credit.
