Frequently Asked Questions: Bulgaria → Italy Shipping
Do I need customs documents for intra-EU moves?
A commercial invoice and CMR / bill of lading are still required. For air cargo, an ICS2 security filing is mandatory.
How long does road groupage take?
Pallet groupage collected Monday in Sofia typically delivers in Milan or Bologna by Friday (4–6 transit days).
Can you handle oversized machinery?
Yes — we arrange permits, pilot cars and low-bed trailers for loads up to 40 t and 4 m height.
Are express vans faster than air freight?
On the Sofia → Northern Italy route (≈ 1 400 km) an express sprinter van often beats next-day air when factoring first-/last-mile handling.
Is cargo insurance mandatory?
It is optional but strongly advised. We can issue all-risk cover at 0.6 % of cargo value.
Which ports & airports do you use?
Key gateways include Port of Varna, Sofia Airport Cargo, Port of Trieste and Milan Malpensa Airport.
