Customs formalities for Croatia
Required documents
When sending a parcel from Switzerland to Croatia, please attach the proforma invoice, which is automatically generated by Expedismart.ch. This document provides Croatia customs with all relevant information about the contents of the parcel. However, if the goods are resold after arrival in Croatia, a commercial invoice must be attached. You can create this yourself or via our website. For more valuable items, it is advisable to take out insurance.

Customs tariffs
The import duties in the destination country depend on the local goods and services tax and VAT. The category of the shipment and its declared value also play a role.
The tax-free threshold for Croatia lies at 22 euros. If the total value of your items is above this amount, the import tax for a consignment is 25%.
What is not allowed to be imported to Croatia?
Make sure that you are not sending any prohibited goods to Croatia. The list may vary depending on the carrier (FedEx, DHL, UPS, TNT, or Aramex).
- Narcotic substances
- Counterfeit and pirated goods
- Weapons and ammunition (require approval from the border police)
- Living plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables (some must be declared)
- Cultural goods (require permission from the competent state bodies)
