Air, road, sea and direct Black Sea short-sea from Bucharest, Constanța and Timișoara to Turkey, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We manage your exports end-to-end — factory to final destination.
Romania is one of the fastest-growing industrial economies in the EU, and it holds a rare advantage on the Turkey corridor: a direct sea lane. The Port of Constanța — Romania's main sea gateway and one of the largest ports on the Black Sea — is linked to Istanbul and the Turkish Marmara ports by short-sea and feeder services measured in days, not weeks. The Danube–Black Sea Canal and the river ports of Galați and Brăila tie Romanian industry into the Danube corridor, Bucharest Henri Coandă (OTP) is the main air-cargo gateway, and the intermodal terminals at Curtici and Arad connect westbound rail traffic at the Hungarian border. Vehicle plants around Pitești and Craiova anchor the automotive sector, with manufacturing clusters around Timișoara, Cluj and Brașov.
As part of the EU–Turkey Customs Union, most industrial goods move between Romania and Turkey free of customs duty with an A.TR certificate. From Romania, road freight reaches Turkey in 2–4 days via the Giurgiu–Ruse crossing and Bulgaria, air cargo reaches Istanbul in 1–2 days, and direct Black Sea short-sea from Constanța runs roughly 2–5 days port-to-port. Canxansa manages end-to-end shipments from Romanian factories — customs, freight and last-mile delivery under a single point of contact.
Express and standard air cargo from Bucharest Henri Coandă (OTP) — Romania's main air cargo gateway — with additional uplift via Cluj (CLJ) and Timișoara (TSR) when capacity or routing requires. Best for time-sensitive, high-value or small-volume shipments such as automotive parts, electronics and instruments. Door-to-door service including customs clearance at origin and destination.
FTL (full truck load) and LTL (part load / groupage) across Europe and to Turkey. Door-to-door service from any Romanian loading point via the Giurgiu–Ruse crossing into Bulgaria and on to Kapıkule — Romania is one of the closest EU markets to Turkey by road. Ideal for the automotive, machinery and furniture sectors. Tilt, mega and refrigerated trailers available, with A.TR handling for the Turkey corridor.
FCL and LCL ocean freight for Romanian exporters via the Port of Constanța — Romania's main sea gateway and one of the largest ports on the Black Sea — with truck or rail pre-carriage from your factory. Direct short-sea services to Turkish ports and deep-sea connections via transhipment to the Mediterranean, the Gulf, Asia and the Americas. 20' and 40' ISO containers — the most cost-effective option for large-volume and heavy consignments.
Direct short-sea and feeder services link Constanța with Istanbul and the Turkish Marmara ports in roughly 2–5 days port-to-port, while the Danube–Black Sea Canal and the river ports of Galați and Brăila connect Romanian industry to the Danube corridor toward Central Europe. Economical for containers, trailers, bulk and project cargo — combined with road legs at both ends. We confirm sailing schedules and equipment availability before booking.
Air freight from Bucharest Henri Coandă (OTP) to Istanbul is the fastest option — typically 1–2 days door-to-door for express cargo. For full and part loads, road freight takes 2–4 days via the Giurgiu–Ruse crossing into Bulgaria and on to the Kapıkule border — Romania is one of the closest EU markets to Turkey by road. Direct Black Sea short-sea services from Constanța to Turkish ports run roughly 2–5 days port-to-port depending on sailing schedules. Transit times are indicative and depend on routing and border conditions.
Road freight (FTL and LTL groupage) from Romania to Turkey typically takes 2–4 days, crossing into Bulgaria at Giurgiu–Ruse and continuing to the Kapıkule–Kapitan Andreevo border. Times are indicative and depend on the loading region in Romania, the Turkish destination and border waiting times. Air freight is 1–2 days for urgent cargo; Black Sea short-sea from Constanța runs roughly 2–5 days port-to-port.
Romania and Turkey both sit inside the EU–Turkey Customs Union for industrial and processed goods, which means most manufactured products move between the two countries free of customs duty with an A.TR movement certificate. This makes the Romania–Turkey corridor an efficient trade lane for Romanian vehicles, machinery and furniture. Agricultural goods — including grain — and ECSC (coal/steel) products fall outside the Customs Union — we advise on the correct certificate (A.TR or EUR.1) for your cargo before you ship.
Air: Bucharest Henri Coandă (OTP), Romania's main air cargo gateway, with additional uplift via Cluj (CLJ) and Timișoara (TSR) when routing requires. Sea: the Port of Constanța — Romania's main sea gateway and one of the largest ports on the Black Sea — plus the river-sea ports of Galați and Brăila reached via the Danube. Rail: the intermodal terminals at Curtici and Arad on the Hungarian border. Pickup is available from any industrial region, including Bucharest–Ilfov, Transylvania around Cluj and Brașov, the west around Timișoara and Arad, and the east around Iași.
Yes. Direct short-sea and feeder services link Constanța with Istanbul and the Turkish Marmara ports in roughly 2–5 days port-to-port, and the Danube–Black Sea Canal together with the river ports of Galați and Brăila connects Romanian industry to the Danube corridor toward Central Europe. Short-sea and barge are cost-effective for containers, trailers, bulk and project cargo — we combine them with road legs at both ends and confirm sailing schedules before booking.
Standard export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, HS classification, electronic export declaration via the EU customs system, and the transport document — CMR (road), bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air). For Turkey and other Customs Union movements you need an A.TR certificate; for goods outside it, a EUR.1 movement certificate. We advise on documentation and certificates before shipment.
Romania's leading exports include vehicles and automotive components from the plants around Pitești and Craiova, industrial machinery and electrical equipment, grain and agricultural products — Romania is one of the EU's leading grain exporters, shipped in bulk via Constanța — furniture and timber products, and textiles. High-value or urgent cargo moves by air, full loads within Europe and to Turkey move by road, and large-volume consignments move by sea and Black Sea short-sea from Constanța.
