Frequently Asked Questions: Bulgaria → Slovakia Shipping
Do I need customs clearance for EU-internal cargo?
Goods move under the principle of free circulation, so no import duty entry is required. However, we issue CMR consignment notes and Intrastat declarations if thresholds are exceeded.
How long does road freight take?
FTL trailers typically reach Bratislava in 22–30 hours, while groupage pallets arrive nationwide in 48–72 hours.
Can you move oversized freight?
Yes — we arrange low-bed trailers, obtain Bulgarian and Slovak road permits and provide escort cars where axle weight or width exceeds legal limits.
Is air cargo trackable end-to-end?
Every air waybill is linked to our online portal, providing milestone scans from uplift at Sofia Airport to arrival at Bratislava or Košice.
What items are prohibited?
Arms, narcotics, counterfeit goods, endangered species and lithium batteries not packed per IATA regulations are not accepted.
Do you provide cargo insurance?
We can place all-risk marine cover through European insurers; premiums start at 0.12 % of the insured value.
