What to know about customs when shipping to Croatia

Regardless of the category of goods in your package, your parcel will be checked by customs in Croatia according to the EU regulations. So, having all the documents prepared is a must. This stage of transportation is crucial, as most delays happen during customs clearance. To avoid parcel holds, make sure to be specific and accurate when filling in the documentation. Discover more about everything related to the customs below.

Necessary documents for smooth customs clearance

Not a single item goes through customs successfully if it is not declared. To keep the process standardized for the EU, the CN23 form was introduced. This is a declaration that requires a detailed description of imported items.

Remember to add receipts from online stores and documents confirming purchase if the price of delivered objects exceeds 300 USD. Also, indicate a recipient’s phone number for a courier to be able to contact them in case of questions during last-mile delivery.

Duties, taxes, and restrictions for Croatia deliveries

According to current tariffs, you are expected to pay VAT of 25% if you ship a package to Croatia. A customs clearance fee comes on top. Unless you want to transport goods with a total value of 150 EUR or below, you would need to pay duties and taxes. Depending on the value of the shipped products and their number, it might be wise to split one parcel into several. This way, you also split a cumulative cost and have your package duty-free.

It is essential to remember that there is a list of restricted items that Meest does not ship. It includes:

• perishable goods (e.g., meat and eggs);
• weapons and ammunition;
• alcohol and tobacco;
• narcotic, psychotropic, potent drugs.

Ensure you do not place any of those in your parcel, as it will cause delays at a minimum. Your package can also be forfeited, destroyed, or returned to you.

Tips for avoiding delays at customs

No prohibited objects in a package — they lead to challenging clearance. Yet, this is not the only problematic area that can cause transportation delays. To minimize those, ensure the following:

• have all the documents filled in and attached to the package;
• provide specific and accurate information;
• indicate the phone number of a recipient;
• pay taxes and duties beforehand if those are applied.

Those easy actions ensure timely delivery and issue-free customs clearance in Croatia, so ensure adherence to them.
