Two Chisinau customs posts open at weekends until 31 December

From 9 October to 31 December, the inland customs posts “Chisinau 1” (Industrială) and “Chisinau 2” (Cricova) are open every day, including Saturdays and Sundays, from 08:00 to 17:00. It is a Customs Service pilot project for businesses.

During these hours the two posts carry out customs control and formalities within their remit. The Customs Service will track the number of operations, clearance times and weekend demand, and will decide on that basis whether to keep or adjust the schedule.

What it means for you

• Importers and exporters can schedule clearance at weekends instead of waiting for Monday.
• Trucks arriving on Friday can be processed sooner, cutting paid waiting days.
• The schedule is temporary: the pilot’s results will decide whether it continues after 31 December.
• Contacts — at the Customs Service.
