Temporary entry of products into Croatia is regulated in accordance with the EU Customs Code and international customs conventions. Croatia is a party to the Customs Convention on ATA Carnet for Temporary Import of Goods.

Typically, the following goods are eligible to qualify for Carnet entry:

  • Commercial samples;
  • Goods for international fairs and exhibitions, and
  • Professional equipment (including tools and instruments, but not goods for processing or repair).

For information on obtaining an ATA export document, please visit the following website: http://www.atacarnet.com/.

The carnet must be presented upon entry. Customs will stamp the carnet thereby validating it. Upon departure, the carnet must again be presented for validation, confirming that the product is being transported out of the country. Failure to re-export the goods results in application of the duties.
