Required documents for delivery to Bulgaria

Delivery abroad is a complex process that requires a large number of documents. This is a process that takes a lot of time and can be confusing. TRT Express automatically generates the necessary documents for your shipment based on the information you provide. This makes the process quick and easy for you.

Customs Clearance

If your package is held by customs for inspection, you will need to provide the following documents:

  • Invoice – a document that accompanies goods moved across the customs border in a parcel, indicates their value and allows them to be identified.
  • Bank statement confirming payment.
  • A customs inspector may require a copy of the recipient’s passport.

If one or more shipments are received in the name of the recipient, the total value of goods in which exceeds the amount equivalent to country’s de minimis value, taxes on imported goods will be charged.

Customs Declaration

Customs authorities require a complete and accurate description of goods. When detailing the goods in the customs declaration, it is necessary to describe:

  • What is this product?
  • What is the product made of?
  • What is the purpose of the product? (example – gift)

For example: Parts, Gifts, Textiles or Samples – these descriptions are too vague and cannot be accepted.

Correct description – T-shirts for women made of cotton, 2 pcs.

Lithium batteries

Lithium batteries are considered dangerous goods. Therefore, it is very important that lithium batteries are properly labeled.

Allowed:

  • Devices containing no more than two batteries, or four power cells are accepted for air transportation.

Prohibited:

  • TRT Express does not except packages containing lithium batteries that are defective, damaged, or recalled for air transportation.
  • If a laptop, cell phone, or other device is known or suspected to have a damaged lithium battery, it should be removed.

Shopping in the USA isn’t just about convenience. The United States typically offers a wider selection of globally recognized brands, appliances, and electronics. Moreover, purchasing and shipping them to Bulgaria is affordable for most customers. TRT Express provides international logistics and customs clearance services, offering several shipping methods and flexible rates.

Delivery to Bulgaria – Acceptable Sizes and Dimensions

TRT Express transports various types of cargo, including small and oversized items. We can ship small parcels, consolidated shipments, furniture, specialized equipment, and vehicles from the USA to Bulgaria.

Dimensional restrictions apply to air shipments: the weight must not exceed 30 kg, and the longest side or the total girth must not exceed 274 cm. All parcels whose weight or dimensions exceed these limits are shipped by sea. Sea freight to Bulgaria allows the transportation of oversized and heavy cargo, including specialized equipment.

Cost of Sending Parcels to Bulgaria

Delivery cost is one of the key factors requiring clarification. It is difficult to state the exact cost of shipping a parcel to Bulgaria, as the price depends on several factors:

  • transport mode;
  • shipment dimensions;
  • insurance;
  • tariff.

The most economical shipping option to Bulgaria is sea freight. Air freight is more expensive; in both cases, the exact price is calculated individually based on the shipment’s dimensions and weight.
