International shipping to Romania
Which occupies a surface
area of 238,391 km², Romania
is the largest country in southeastern Europe and the twelfth-largest
in Europe. A large part of Romania's border with Serbia
and Bulgaria is formed by
the Danube. The Danube is joined by the Prut River,
which forms the border with the Republic
of Moldova. The Danube
flows into the Black Sea within Romania's
territory forming the Danube Delta, the second largest and the best preserved
delta in Europe, and a biosphere reserve and a
biodiversity World Heritage Site. Other important rivers are the Siret, running
north-south through Moldavia,
the Olt, running from the oriental Carpathian Mountains to Oltenia, and the Mureş,
running through Transylvania from East to
West.
Moving to Romania? The terrain is
distributed roughly equally between mountainous, hilly and lowland territories.
The Carpathian Mountains dominate the center of Romania, with fourteen of its
mountain ranges reaching above the altitude of 2,000 meters. The highest
mountain in Romania is Moldoveanu Peak (2544 m). In south-central Romania, the
Carpathians sweeten into hills, towards the Bărăgan Plains. Romania's
geographical diversity has led to an accompanying diversity of flora and fauna.

A high
percentage of natural ecosystems (47% of the land area of the country) is covered with natural and semi-natural ecosystems. Since
almost half of all forests in Romania
(13% of the country) have been managed for watershed conservation rather than
production, Romania has one
of the largest areas of undisturbed forest in Europe.
The integrity of Romanian forest ecosystems is indicated by the presence of the
full range of European forest fauna, including 60% and 40% of all European
brown bears and wolves, respectively. There are also almost 400 unique species
of mammals (of which Carpathian chamois are best known), birds, reptiles and
amphibians in Romania.
There
are almost 10,000 km² (almost 5% of the total area) of protected areas in Romania. Of
these, Danube Delta Reserve Biosphere is the largest and least damaged wetland
complex in Europe, covering a total area of
5800 km². The significance of the biodiversity of the Danube Delta has been
internationally recognized. It was declared a Biosphere Reserve in September 1990,
a Ramsar site in May 1991, and over 50% of its area was placed on the World
Heritage List in December 1991. Within its boundaries is one of the most
extensive reed bed systems in the world. There are two other biosphere
reserves: Retezat National Park and Rodna National Park.
Owing
to its distance from the open sea and position on the southeastern portion of
the European continent, Romania
has a climate that is transitional between temerate and continental with four
distinct seasons. The average annual temperature is 11°C in the south and 8°C
in the north. The extreme recorded temperatures are +44.5°C in 1951 and -38.5°C
in 1942.
Container shipping to Romania
during Spring is pleasant with cool mornings and
nights and warm days. Summers are generally very warm to hot, with summer (June
to August) average maximum temperatures in Bucharest being around 28 °C, with
temperatures over 35 °C fairly common in the lower-lying areas of the country.
Minima in Bucharest
and other lower-lying areas are around 16 °C, but at higher altitudes both
maxima and minima decline considerably. Autumn is dry and cool, with fields and
trees producing colorful foliage. Winters can be cold, with average maxima even
in lower-lying areas being no more than 2 °C and below -15 °C in the highest
mountains, where some areas of permafrost occur on the highest peaks.
Precipitation
is average with over 750 mm per year only on the highest western mountains —
much of it falling as snow which allows for an extensive skiing industry. In
the south-center parts of the country (around Bucharest) the level of
precipitation drops to around 600 mm, while in the Danube Delta, rainfall
levels are very low, and average only around 370 mm.
International
moving to Romania then consider the 2002 census, Romania has a population
of 21,698,181 and, similarly to other countries in the region, is expected to
gently decline in the coming years as a result of sub-replacement fertility
rates. Romanians make up 89.5% of the population. The largest ethnic minorities
are Hungarians, who make up 6.6% of the population and Roma, or Gypsies, who
make up 2% of the population. By the official census 535,250 Roma live in Romania.
Hungarians, who are a sizeable minority in Transylvania,
constitute a majority in the counties of Harghita and Covasna. Ukrainians, Germans,
Lipovans, Turks, Tatars, Serbs, Slovaks, Bulgarians, Croats, Greeks, Russians, Jews,
Czechs, Poles, Italians, Armenians, as well as other ethnic groups, account for
the remaining 1.4% of the population. The population density of the country as
a whole has doubled since 1900 although, in contrast to other central European
states, there is still considerable room for further growth. The overall
density figures, however, conceal considerable regional variation. Population
densities are naturally highest in the towns, with the plains (up to altitudes
of some 700 ft) having the next highest density, especially in areas with
intensive agriculture or a traditionally high birth rate (e.g., northern Moldavia
and the “contact” zone with the Subcarpathians); areas at altitudes of 700 to
2,000 feet (600 m), rich in mineral resources, orchards, vineyards,
and pastures, support the lowest densities. The number of Romanians and
individuals with ancestors born in Romania living abroad is estimated
at around 12 million.
Customs
Clearance in Romania uses The official language of
Romania
which is Romanian, an Eastern Romance language related to Italian, French, Spanish,
Portuguese and Catalan. Romanian is spoken as a first language by 91% of the
population, with Hungarian and Romani being the most important minority
languages, spoken by 6.7% and 1.1% of the population, respectively. Until the
1990s, there was also a substantial number of German-speaking Transylvanian
Saxons, even though many have since emigrated to Germany, leaving only 45,000 native German
speakers in Romania.
In localities where a given ethnic minority makes up more than 20% of the
population, that minority's language can be used in the public administration
and justice system, while native-language education and signage is also
provided. English and French are the main foreign languages taught in schools.
English is spoken by 5 million Romanians, French is spoken by 4-5 million, and
German, Italian and Spanish are each spoken by 1-2 million people.
Historically, French was the predominant foreign language spoken in Romania, even
though English has since superseded it. Consequently, Romanian English-speakers
tend to be younger than Romanian French-speakers. Romania is, however, a full member
of La Francophonie, and hosted the Francophonie Summit in 2006. German has been
taught predominantly in Transylvania, due to
traditions tracing back to the Austro-Hungarian rule in this province.
