Exporting to Romania after EU Exit if there’s no deal
Guidance explaining changes for UK exporters to Romania if we leave the EU with no deal.
Leaving the EU with a deal remains the UK government’s top priority. This has not changed. However, the government is continuing with no deal preparations to ensure the country is prepared for every eventuality.
Trade agreement
If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the UK will not have a Free Trade Agreement with the EU or any individual member countries, including Romania.
Tariffs and quotas
If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the EU’s Most Favoured Nation terms will apply to exports to the EU.
Check Romania’s import tariffs and quotas under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.
Exporting goods
You may need to use the same processes for exporting to EU countries that apply when exporting to the rest of the world.
Controlled goods
The export licensing regulations for controlled goods will be affected.
Controlled goods include:
- military items
- dual-use items (items with both civil and military uses)
- firearms
Find out how export licensing for controlled goods will change.
Professional services

- cross-border trade
