Send a parcel to Bulgaria from only £24.40

As one of the EU’s most dynamic emerging markets, we’re seeing increased parcel delivery to Bulgaria in 2025. Recent stats show that trade in goods between the UK and Bulgaria was worth about £2.9 billion between 2024 and 2025, with roughly £1.1 billion in UK exports heading east and £1.8 billion of Bulgarian goods and services coming the other way.

Over the past decade, relations between the two countries have strengthened.

In fact, total bilateral trade has climbed from around £1.7 billion in 2015 to close to £2.9 billion in 2024. But what’s behind the rising rates of shipping to Bulgaria? Real people and businesses moving goods. There’s the large (and growing) Bulgarian community living in the UK: estimates based on the 2021 census suggest roughly 147,000 Bulgarian-born residents live here, up from just a few thousand at the start of the century.

Some sources suggest the wider British community in Bulgaria, including long-stay owners of holiday homes, could easily run into the high thousands or even tens of thousands. Whatever the precise total, there is a clear two-way flow of families, retirees, students and professionals who all need to send postage to Bulgaria from UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

What items can I send to Bulgaria?

Successful parcel delivery to Bulgaria requires knowing what you can and can’t send. Most standard, non-hazardous parcels can be delivered to Bulgaria without difficulty. Everyday items such as clothing, books, toys, documents and consumer goods are usually fine, provided they comply with both Bulgarian customs rules and your chosen courier’s restrictions.

However, you must not send narcotic, psychotropic or poisonous substances, illegal drugs or certain anaesthetics, or any weapons, ammunition, fireworks, explosives or other highly flammable materials. Like many countries, you cannot send a parcel to Bulgaria that contains money or other valuables. For example, coins, banknotes, platinum, gold and silver, and precious stones are not accepted in ordinary parcels.

For more information, please visit the Bulgarian Customs Agency.

Do I need to deal with customs when sending from the UK to Bulgaria?

Yes – since Brexit, all postage to Bulgaria from UK is treated as international shipments. All goods require customs clearance, and most carriers expect a customs invoice or declaration even for everyday consumer parcels.

How should I address my parcel for delivery to Bulgaria?

If you’re shipping to Bulgaria, follow our instructions for correctly addressing a parcel.

First, write the recipient’s name first, then the street and building number, followed by the four-digit postcode and town or city on the same line. Finish by writing BULGARIA in capital letters on the last line. Here’s an example:
