Croatia import

Customs and import context

Customs authority and filings

Imports are cleared by Croatian Customs Administration. The importer of record (or its broker) files the declaration; Anxin coordinates but does not act as importer.

  • Registrations and filings are confirmed with the importer's customs broker.

Import taxes to expect by name: import VAT (PDV) and any customs duty. Rates and duties are confirmed by the importer's broker for the exact product classification.

Croatia is in the EU customs union: goods are cleared once under the Union Customs Code and can then move within the single market.

Languages and documents

Official or main business languages: Croatian. Commercial invoice, packing list and battery descriptions should use the product names the importer will declare.

Local-language port names on file (confirm spelling on your documents): Rijeka: Luka Rijeka.
