Slovenia adopted the EU’s customs legislation when it joined the union in 2004.  EU regulation establishes an overall legal foundation, and Slovenia has adapted some parts of EU customs regulations through national legislation.  The basic legal framework of the Republic of Slovenia’s Customs System is based on the Customs Law, the Customs Service Law, and the Customs Tariff Law (OG RS 66/00).  Additional information on customs legislation.

Import levies are payable upon the importation of most agricultural and food products.  Levies are not charged if the agricultural or food product is exempt from duties pursuant to the Customs Law. 

The primary basis for customs valuation is ad valorem on the transaction value of the goods (i.e., the price paid or the price to be paid for the goods to be imported), including all duties and taxes paid outside Slovenia.  For more than 95 percent of imports, a product’s customs value is established based on transaction value.  In addition to customs duties paid according to rates provided by the Customs Tariff or preferential agreements, imports are also subject to VAT.
