Who Can Ship Duty-Free to Croatia?

The great news? You may be able to import your household goods duty-free—but the conditions depend on where you’re coming from and your residency status.

✅ Returning Croatian Citizens

You’ll need:

• Croatian passport and ID card

• A certificate proving you lived outside the EU

• A valued inventory list

• A statement of arrival and a request for exemption

Once those boxes are ticked, your used household goods can be imported without duty—provided they’ve been in your possession and for personal use.

✅ EU Citizens Moving to Croatia

If you’re a fellow European settling in Zagreb, Split, or beyond, you’ll need:

• Your national passport

• A Croatian ID for foreign residents

• A rental or property contract

• Proof of prior residence outside the EU

• A job offer or employment contract

The key is showing you’re moving your main residence to Croatia—not just bringing in goods on a holiday.

✅ Non-EU Citizens

Relocating from the UK, USA, Canada, or Australia? You can still ship duty-free if:

• You’re taking up residence in Croatia

• You provide a Croatian ID (for foreign residents), proof of employment, and a valid rental agreement

If everything checks out, you’ll enjoy a smooth, duty-free import of your used household goods.

What You Can (and Can’t) Ship

Your favourite sofa, heirloom dresser, kitchen kit, or beloved book collection? ✅ Absolutely.

Brand new items or commercial quantities? ❌ Not allowed under duty-free exemptions.

Also, keep in mind:

🚫 Prohibited or restricted items include:

• Alcohol, tobacco, food, or liquids

• Firearms, ammunition, fireworks, and explosives

• Drugs, toxins, and corrosive materials

• High-value artwork and antiques (need special clearance)

• Plants or animal products (regulated)

We’ll help you separate these out and provide advice on what’s best to leave behind—or declare.

Shipping Your Car to Croatia? It’s Possible

Yes, you can bring your car—but it’s not quite as simple as packing it next to your pots and pans. Here’s what you need:

• Original registration documents

• A valid invoice or proof of value

• Full technical specs (chassis number, weight, engine power)

Cars must have been in your name and use for at least 6 months prior to import.

And here’s the catch: you’ll need to pay a special Croatian tax called Trošarina (excise tax), unless you’re a diplomat. We’ll help you calculate it based on your vehicle’s value and emissions category—yes, green cars may be cheaper to import!

Bringing Pets? Here’s What You Need

Croatia is a pet-friendly country, and your furry friend can come along—as long as you follow the rules:

• Microchip or tattoo ID

• A valid pet passport

• A recent veterinarian health certificate

Your pet will be examined by a border veterinary inspector, so plan their arrival carefully. We’ll help coordinate flights, paperwork, and clearances so your cat or dog arrives safely and stress-free.
