What to know before shipping to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
A single customs territory
Bosnia and Herzegovina is made up of two entities, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, plus the Brčko District, but customs and VAT are managed at state level by the Indirect Taxation Authority, based in Banja Luka. A single customs tariff and a single VAT therefore apply throughout the country, while some sector-specific authorisations, such as health or environmental ones, may also depend on the entities.
Stabilisation and Association Agreement since 2015
The agreement with the Union has been in force since 1 June 2015; its trade provisions had already applied since 2008 under an interim agreement. Bosnian duties on EU industrial goods have been removed, with exceptions for some agricultural products. Bosnia and Herzegovina has been a candidate for membership since December 2022 and is part of CEFTA, the free trade area of the Western Balkans and Moldova.
Crossings from Croatia
The country shares a long border with Croatia. For Banja Luka and the north, goods usually enter at Gradiška or Brod, on the Sava; for Mostar and Herzegovina at the Bijača crossing, on Corridor Vc linking the Croatian port of Ploče with Sarajevo; for the Bihać area at Izačić. The choice depends on the delivery city and on the inland customs terminal where the consignee clears the goods.
Transit: Bosnian rules after the border
Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a party to the Convention on a common transit procedure: the export declaration opened in Brescia ends at the Croatian office of exit, and from there the goods continue under Bosnian national transit to the inland terminal, or travel under a TIR carnet. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia have agreed on advance electronic data exchange at road crossings, under the Green Lanes initiative, to reduce waiting times.
Three languages, two scripts and proof of origin
The official languages are Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, in Latin and Cyrillic script. The import declaration is lodged by a local customs broker; the invoice and packing list must be consistent in description, code, weights and value. Preferential duty requires the EUR.1 certificate or the origin declaration on the invoice; the country belongs to the pan-Euro-Mediterranean cumulation zone.
Firearms, ammunition and dual use
Licences to import firearms, ammunition and dual-use goods are issued at state level by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations, in addition to the Italian export authorisation. We check these documents with you, together with the ADR classification for dangerous goods, before scheduling collection.
