Binging possessions to Bulgaria

New Topic Newest First

Hi I'd like to enquire what is the best way to bring personal possessions to Bulgaria. I'm in Plovdiv and plan to return to the UK 8/9/16 and would like to bring some boxes back. I don't have a vehicle, has anyone done this or is about to and would share space/costs? I did consider buying a small van but apparently you'll be taxed!

Hi there - we bought a tranny and bought the most necessary but also had a 7 toner bring the rest. UK white goods, electricals and electronics, furniture and bedding are much better quality from home. Sadly MDF rules here and it's yet in it's infancy so not best. Try Stephen Cargill https://www.facebook.com/groups/945345058830486/ or Simon Pennells https://www.facebook.com/simon.pennells?fref=ts
Both go to and from the UK to BG regularly.

As an addendum DO NOT use Chris Jho/Alexander/Ebbs. He is a con artist. Currently a large number of people in BG reporting him to Action Fraud UK for taking money and not delivering or delivering late and with significant damages and breakages or with items missing

I recommend that you talk to the local customs officials before you make your move. As in my situation, sometimes they can be a little flexible depending on your personal situation.

Good luck.

We were not taxed on either the goods we bought over in the tranny or for the goods we had professionally removed. I wonder what tax is being referred to?
