Customs Service

Moldova’s Customs Service says that economic operators can benefit from increased security, predictability and continuity of commercial activity, thanks to the entry into force of the procedure of temporary suspension of the preferential tariff regime, Logos Press reports.

Last week, strawberries and raspberries began to be actively exported from Moldova. These perishable products, like many others, should cross customs borders as quickly as possible, avoiding standing in queues.

The strategic goal of the Moldovan Customs Service is full digitalization of processes, so that customs declarations are checked automatically, applications for special regimes (temporary importation, use of complex guarantees, etc.) are submitted exclusively online,” Logos Press reports.

The process of requesting preferential certificates of origin when exporting goods will become faster, more efficient and more transparent, and the interaction with the customs authority will be carried out exclusively through the system’s internal messages,” according to Logos Press.

In the first four months of 2025, the Customs Service sent more than 12.39 billion lei to the state budget, which is 29.8% of the annual plan,” Logos Press reported.

The Customs Service of Moldova has transferred to the state budget more than 804.8 million lei of taxes and fees collected from economic entities during the period from April 14 to April 21, – reports Logos Press.

Budget revenues from the Customs Service in the first quarter of this year decreased in real terms due to a serious shortfall in excise duties, – reports Logos Press.

Since March 24 this year, when receiving parcels from abroad with a value of more than 150 euros, individuals can fill in the customs declaration online. This is provided for by the new Customs Code of Moldova and the capabilities of the customs information system Asycuda.
