Budapest, Hungary

About Budapest

Budapest is the capital of Hungary and the most important transit customs point for road freight moving between Serbia and the European Union. The M5 motorway connects the Hungarian side of the Röszke/Horgoš border crossing directly to Budapest in approximately 3 hours, making the city the first major EU logistics hub for Serbian cargo entering the Schengen freight space.

The Budapest customs administration is one of the busiest in Central Europe for Serbia-originating shipments, handling T1/T2 transit declarations, TIR carnet operations, and ATA carnet processing for commercial cargo. The city hosts major logistics parks – including those at Gyál, Ecser, and Soroksár – which serve as transshipment and warehousing points for goods redistributed across Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, and beyond.

Fin Partner regularly coordinates road freight via Budapest on the Serbia–Germany, Serbia–Austria, and Serbia–Netherlands corridors. Our logistics team manages border crossing scheduling at Röszke, Hungarian customs documentation, and onward transit arrangements for shipments using Budapest as a handling node. Direct Belgrade–Budapest transit time is typically 4–5 hours.
