Romania · container resale
Selling and sourcing used containers in Romania
Romania joined the EU in 2007, entered the Schengen area in 2024 and still counts in leu. It is also the one country on our list whose main port faces the Black Sea rather than the Mediterranean or the North Sea.
One port page, other places on request
Constanța has its own page with terminal facts from the operator. Any other Romanian location can be named in the form, and we will say whether a request there is something we can take.
Distances count in a large country
Romania is big, and a city name tells little about how far a unit must travel. A seller in the north-west and a buyer in the south-east are further apart than two ports in some other countries. The reviewer therefore shows distances in kilometres and leaves the decision to the parties.
Customs status first
A container arriving from outside the EU must have a clear customs status before resale is discussed. This is for you and your agent, but we do ask that it is written into the request, so that a buyer does not find out later.
