Bulgaria's Customs Agency enhances control at borders and inside the country

Photo: BGNES

Since the beginning of the year, Bulgaria's Customs Agency has been carrying out increased checks at all customs and border points, as well as throughout the country, of goods and cargo travelling from and to Austria. The inspections are in fulfillment of the commitment for enhanced control of the land borders undertaken by Bulgaria and Romania to Austria in the signed Annex to the decision on the accession of the two countries to Schengen, the Bulgarian Ministry of Finance announced.


In the first six days of the year alone, more than 7,200 checks were carried out on vehicles, including those passing through the country in transit, by all customs control methods – physical inspection, scanning with X-ray systems, documentary control.

Cigarettes, tobacco, alcohol, motor oils, electric tools, children's toys, etc. were seized when trying to import into the country or during transit to Western Europe.

Checks will continue at all border crossings until Bulgaria's land accession to Schengen, after which control will remain only at the EU's external borders with Turkey and Serbia.
