The customs and border authorities of Moldova and Romania have agreed on additional measures designed to speed up the passage of freight through the busiest border crossings. These measures include reorganizing inspection procedures, redistributing traffic flows, and strengthening coordination between agencies to reduce lines and increase border capacity.
An additional route has been established for transporting grain across the Moldovan-Romanian border: market participants can now use one of the border crossings, and trip authorization is now linked to an electronic booking system. The decision was made amid congestion at certain border crossings and may affect the logistics of agricultural shipments in the coming days.
Moldova and Romania have agreed on additional measures to streamline grain transit across their shared border, including the use of one of the border crossing points. The decision is expected to reduce the burden on existing routes and impact regional trade flows, particularly those involving Ukraine.
The Moldovan government issued a clarification following reports of the alleged sale of Ukrainian grain on the domestic market, emphasizing that this refers only to transit through the country's territory. The Cabinet of Ministers also highlighted the risks to critical infrastructure and cited data that, according to them, confirms the importance of this flow for the railway industry and port logistics.
Moldova and Romania will expand coordinated border control along the border in both directions
The ports of Giurgiulești in southern Moldova have seen a significant increase in cargo volume over the past nine months, and authorities and European partners are discussing the further development of the transportation hub and its connections with neighboring countries. The focus is on modernizing access infrastructure, relieving congestion at the border crossing, and redistributing some of the traffic flows among road, rail, and sea transport.
The Customs Service reported an increase in budget revenues for the third week of September: collections exceeded both the previous week's figure and the target for the reporting period. At the same time, the statistics show significant volumes of customs declarations and border crossings, as well as contributions from individuals who imported goods in excess of the allowed limits.
