Information on customs and regulations
Croatia is a member of the European Union, meaning that Union citizens can travel to Croatia with no customs or tax restrictions when entering and exiting the country.
Citizens of non-EU countries do not pay customs and VAT for personal luggage and items for personal use, as well as smaller gifts, of a reasonable value and amount, of course.
Personal luggage is clothing, shoes, hygiene products, portable electronics for personal use, etc. Other, so-called non-commercial, goods are also exempt from any fees, and this includes items and goods meant as smaller gifts, i.e. goods whose value and amount indicates that they are not considered import or export for commercial reasons. There are certain limits, depending on the value of the goods or the manner of transport. For non-commercial goods in personal luggage, this means from 150.00 euro for passengers under 15 years of age, regardless of the manner of transport, and up to 430.00 euro per passenger in air and sea transport, or 300.00 euro in all other modes of transport. Detailed instructions and information can be found on the web-site of the Customs Administration at the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Croatia (Customs Administration – Relief from duties and restrictions (carina.gov.hr)).
