Transport from Romania to Poland is becoming an increasingly popular solution in the logistics industry, due to the rapidly growing trade links between the two countries. Romania, located in the south-eastern part of Europe, is gaining importance as a key destination for road transport. Both Romania and Poland, being strategically located in Eastern Europe, play a key role on the logistics map. The developed road networks in both countries ensure the efficient movement of goods, making them important transport hubs on the continent.

Trade between Romania and Poland covers a wide range of products and raw materials that are intensively exchanged between the two countries. The economic relations between them cover a variety of sectors in which both parties actively cooperate. Below we have outlined the key areas of exports and imports that play an important role in bilateral trade.

Electrical machinery and equipment:
Romania exports a variety of machinery, electrical equipment, and parts to Poland, including white goods, electric motors and other mechanical equipment.

Chemical products:
Exports of chemicals, including fertilisers, plastics and other chemical industry products, are a significant part of trade between Romania and Poland.

Agri-food products:
Romania supplies Poland with agricultural products, including cereals, vegetable oils and processed fruit and vegetables, which play an important role in Romanian exports.

Metals and metal products:
Romania also exports metal products such as steel, aluminium and other metals, which are used in various industrial sectors.

The current economic cooperation between Poland and Romania can be considered very successful. Since Romania joined the European Union, we have seen a growing strengthening of economic and trade, or transport, relations between Poland and Romania. Accession to the EU has eliminated customs barriers and provided access to the common market. This significantly simplifies formalities and reduces transaction costs.

According to the World Bank Group, Romania is achieving significant GDP growth, making it one of the most dynamically developing markets in Europe. This development opens up many investment and trade opportunities for foreign partners.

Currently, although Poland and Romania are members of the European Union, the transport of goods between the two countries requires going through border controls and customs clearance. This is because Romania is not yet fully part of the Schengen Area. Crossing the border involves additional procedures that can increase transport time.

However, thanks to Romania’s membership in the EU and the common market, cooperation with Schengen countries is already facilitated. If Romania were to join the Schengen Area, transport between Poland and Romania would become more efficient, eliminating additional border controls and speeding up logistical processes.

In order to enter Romania, it is crucial to comply with a number of important formalities in order to cross the border without problems. The most important is to have the correct travel document, which is necessary to enter the country. Travellers can use different options – a passport, a temporary passport or an identity card. Each of these documents must be valid at the time of border crossing. Please note that applications such as mCitizen and mDocuments are not accepted as forms of documents for crossing the Romanian border.

An additional convenience for Polish citizens is that there is no need to obtain a visa, which makes planning a trip to Romania even easier. Under the current conditions, there are also no additional entry requirements such as COVID-19 restrictions. This makes the border crossing process much easier and faster.

It is not necessary to have an international driving licence when travelling to Romania by car. However, be sure to bring the originals of all necessary documents such as your driving licence, vehicle registration and third party insurance. Romanian authorities do not accept the mPojazd application, so you must have paper versions of these documents.

Drivers should strictly adhere to the traffic rules in Romania, as the police have the right to stop a driver’s licence for violating them. Traffic rules are strictly enforced and violations can result in serious consequences.

In Romania, drivers must pay road tolls, known as vignettes, which are compulsory for all vehicles. They must be purchased before travelling or immediately after crossing the border, either at a petrol station or online. It is important to remember that the tolls apply not only to motorways, but also to all national roads. Lack of a vignette can result in hefty fines of up to RON 9500. In addition, additional charges apply at some places, such as Danube ferry crossings or bridges, which depend on the type of vehicle.
