Customs and documents for Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina is not in the EU customs union, so goods cross a customs border. A load from Lithuania needs an EU export declaration in Lithuania. The goods leave the EU at the Croatian border. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, they need an import declaration, at the border or at an inland customs office.
When the goods clear at an inland customs office, they travel there with a transit document, for example a TIR carnet. Every load travels with a CMR consignment note. Before booking, we explain which documents your load needs. We arrange the customs declarations with a trusted partner.
