The number of trucks waiting to clear customs is rising at the Sculeni–Sculeni and Leuseni–Albita border crossings, while freight traffic remains heavy at Giurgiulesti. The Customs Service advises hauliers to use alternative crossings to reduce waiting times, IPN reports.
The Customs Service says additional staff have been deployed at the busy customs checkpoints, and teams are working around the clock to speed up truck processing on both sides of the border.
At the same time, the authority recommends that empty trucks use the Cahul–Oancea and Costeati–Stanca border crossings, depending on their route and the nature of the transport operation. Hauliers crossing the border at Costesti–Stanca are encouraged to use the BQS electronic booking system.
The Customs Service also recommends using the common transit procedure through the NCTS system, where applicable, submitting electronic declarations in advance, and checking transport-related documents. Carriers are encouraged to schedule trips on different days and at different times to avoid congestion at customs checkpoints.
The institution says it is continuously monitoring the situation and coordinating measures to ease traffic flow with the Romanian control authorities.
