We ship from a 3PL in another country. Does that matter?

Not for the Romanian obligation. What matters is that the packaged goods reach a Romanian customer.

Can we do this ourselves?

The filings need a Romanian portal account and a qualified electronic signature, and a producer without an establishment in Romania acts through a representative here. In practice, that means a Romanian partner.

What if we stop shipping to Romania?

Then the obligation ends going forward, but the periods you did ship in stay reportable. Regularising those is usually straightforward.

Your own webshop, shipping to Romania

On your own store there is no compliance dashboard asking for a registration number, so nothing prompts you — and the obligation is identical to a marketplace seller's. Every parcel to a Romanian customer places packaging on the Romanian market, and the duty to register, cover targets and declare monthly is entirely yours, with no platform in between.

How direct sellers usually find out

A Romanian business customer asks for the registration number before ordering.
An advisor or accountant reviewing EU expansion raises it.
A competitor's or partner's compliance questionnaire includes it.
An inspection or an information request arrives, and past periods are already open.

The setup, from your store data

1
Export orders by country
Shopify, WooCommerce and most platforms export order lines with the destination country — that is the input.
2
Packaging table per SKU
Weights per material, built once, updated when packaging changes.
3
Register and contract
Romanian producer registration plus a licensed organisation for your targets, with us as representative.
4
Monthly declaration
We calculate and file by the 25th and tell you the amount and reference to pay.

Small volumes are not an exemption

There is no threshold for cross-border distance sellers in Romania. A store shipping twenty parcels a month has the same registration duty as one shipping two thousand — the contribution differs, the paperwork does not.

That is also the good news: at small volumes the amounts are modest, and getting registered early avoids a retroactive assessment later.

What the monthly routine feels like

One export from your store, sent by email. Everything else — calculation, filing, deadline, payment amount, zero months — sits with us.
