In Bulgaria
Last Updated: Oct 26, 2025
I run a Bulgarian cosmetics company and want to ship products to a non-EU country. What export licenses might be required, how do I document product origin to qualify for any tariff relief, and what sanctions or restricted-list checks should I perform before shipping?
