About Szeged
Szeged sits on the Tisza river in southern Hungary, just 15 kilometres from the Röszke/Horgoš border crossing - the busiest road freight entry point between Serbia and the European Union. The M5 motorway carries traffic north from the crossing through Szeged before continuing to Budapest, making this city the first stop for most Serbian freight entering Hungary, roughly 250 kilometres and three to four hours from Belgrade.
Because of its position 15 kilometres from the border, many shipments clear customs at Szeged rather than at the crossing itself, easing congestion at Röszke/Horgoš during peak periods. Szeged's customs offices handle T1 transit openings and the EU entry formalities required for Serbian-origin freight, including the security risk assessments that apply before goods continue further into the EU customs area.

After clearance in Szeged
Freight cleared at Szeged can stage briefly in temporary storage before continuing north on the M5 toward Budapest, Győr or onward into Western Europe, or it can be released directly to a Szeged-area receiver. Fin Partner pre-lodges the transit declaration so this handover happens with minimal delay after the truck crosses at Röszke/Horgoš.
