These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of trucks at Isaccea typically slows for 20–60 minutes. To minimize wait, plan to cross **30+ minutes before or 60+ minutes after** the approximate shift change. Check the live queue above for current status. The neighboring Romania checkpoint is in the same time zone as Ukraine (Kyiv time), so its shift change falls at roughly the same **08:00 and 20:00**. Because both sides change at the same time, the slowdown is concentrated in narrow windows — **about 08:00–08:30 in the morning and 20:00–20:30 in the evening** (Kyiv time). ## Queue Chart: Today & Yesterday ### Queue at checkpoint for the last 24 hours Real Data Increased Load ### Supermarkets nearby - [(image: Penny) Penny Strada Avram Iancu 1, Isaccea 2.1 km 3 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.284085,28.452964/45.267378,28.46525) - [M My Auchan Strada Brăilei, Măcin 26.1 km 39 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.284085,28.452964/45.25083,28.12251) - [(image: Penny) Penny Strada Spitalului 6, Tulcea 28.6 km 43 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.284085,28.452964/45.17832,28.785677) - [(image: Lidl) Lidl Strada Victoriei 76, Tulcea 28.8 km 43 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.284085,28.452964/45.177891,28.788614) - [S Supermarket 29.5 km 44 min drive](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/45.284085,28.452964/45.1607953,28.7860921) [All stores on map](https://nakordoni.eu/en/shopping/supermarkets) Required Documents · green card · vehicle requirements · customs · vignette ## Required Documents ## Documents for crossing the border from the EU Information about the documents required for leaving the EU will be available here soon. ### Customs Rules: What You Can Transport ALLOWED (with limits) Alcohol (for adults 18+) - Up to 1 liter of spirits (40%+) - Up to 2 liters of wine - Up to 4 liters of beer - Or proportional combination Example: 0.5L vodka + 1L wine = within limits Tobacco products (for adults 18+) - 200 cigarettes - 100 cigarillos - 50 cigars - 250g tobacco **Package must be sealed!** Food products - Dairy products: up to 2 kg (cheese OK) - Meat/fish: up to 2 kg (canned OK, RAW NOT allowed) - Fruits/vegetables: up to 2 kg - Honey, jam: no limits Meat from non-EU countries is PROHIBITED!
