Export
These services are offered for transportation of goods both by TAROM aircrafts and by the aircrafts of partner companies with which handling cargo agreements are concluded.
Necessary operations in case of transportation of goods outside the country:
- Issue of AWB (goods transportation agreement) can be made both by the TAROM personnel and the cargo agents.
- Acceptance of goods is made at the TAROM terminal, checking whether the goods comply with the transportation conditions (documents, packing, marking)
- Customs formalities, are performed by the customs representative in direct relation with the sender or its representative (customs broker)
- Security control operations, performed in accordance with the laws in force in each country by the competent authorities.
It is important to know that, upon the request of customs and security authorities, goods can be opened for control only in the presence of the sender or of its representative. The goods are considered as accepted for transportation only after completion of the above-mentioned steps.
Import
TAROM offers you the following services:

- Handling and storage
- Notification to recipient (using the information on the AWB)

The Cargo Department does not perform customs formalities. Under the laws in force, customs formalities are the responsibility of the sender, who has to contact directly the customs or a customs broker.
