Reliable Road Freight Service To Bosnia
As a commercial freight forwarding company based in Essex, we are geared up to meet the needs of British exporters with customers throughout the Balkan region, including Bosnia and Herzegovina. If you would like to arrange for a couple of pallets or cartons of goods to be picked up from your warehouse and delivered to Bosnia for you, then there is no better company to turn to. Equally, we are just as well-versed with shipping an entire lorry-load – or more – of machinery and spare parts to this part of Europe. Whether or not your firm has exported to a non-EU country before, we are on hand to make the process as hassle-free as possible.
Please note that, if wanted, we offer customs clearance brokerage for UK-based exportation firms. This will mean helping to make sure your shipment to Bosnia passes into the EU without any delays or clarifications being sought by either EU or HMRC officials at the border. Equally, we can arrange for the paperwork to be prepared for when your shipment to Bosnia leaves the EU once more, typically via the E65 or E70 trunk routes that cross into Bosnia and Herzegovina from Croatia.
To get started, simply give us a call 01268 525 444 or request an online shipping quote.

The quote was quick and easy, booking was straightforward and everything was handled smoothly from start to finish. As this was our first import we needed a bit of guidance along the way but Simon was brilliant. He took care of everything, kept us updated throughout and was always on hand to answer our questions. What seemed like a complicated process was made incredibly simple and stress free. The customer service was excellent, communication was spot on and our shipment arrived without any issues. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable freight forwarder. Thanks again for making our first import such a positive experience!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a time-critical air freight shipment coming in from China to the UK and Simon was a huge help in getting it over the line. Right before arrival, an issue came up due to a mistake from the airline, which could have turned into a real headache. Simon picked it up straight away, dealt with it quickly and managed to sort everything without any extra costs on our side. Really solid support throughout and easy to deal with, especially given the urgency. Another great job by Barrington Freight - we’ll definitely be using them again!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good service during a turbulent global shipping period. Special thanks goes to Lee for his efficiency and proactive updates and for rescheduling a delivery in less than 24hrs when the haulage company didn’t read their own paperwork and sent a lorry without the requested tail lift. Highly recommended.

BOSNIAN IMPORT CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS
Customs Regulations, VAT and Prohibited Items
VAT IN Bosnia
When shipping to Bosnia from the UK, British importers must take VAT declarations into account. In Bosnia, VAT is referred to as PDV (Porez na dodatu vrijednost). The standard VAT rate in Bosnia is 17%, which is lower than in many EU countries.
Bosnia is not an EU member, so its VAT system and regulations operate independently of EU standards. This means importers must be aware of local requirements and ensure they comply with Bosnian customs procedures. In some cases, exemptions or reduced rates may apply, but this depends on the type of goods being imported.
If you are arranging road freight to Bosnia, it is strongly recommended to seek professional customs advice to avoid delays and ensure all VAT obligations are met.
| Goods or Services | VAT Rate Bosnia |
|---|---|
| Standard taxable goods and services | 17% |
| Intra-community and international transport | 0% |
RESTRICTED ITEMS
As a courier providing road freight to Bosnia, it is important to consult with professional freight forwarding experts regarding the international movement of the following restricted items:
- Wood and Forest Products: Bosnia has significant forest resources and enforces regulations on the export of wood and timber products to support sustainable forestry and prevent illegal logging.
- Cultural and Historical Artefacts: Strict regulations apply to the export of Bosnian artefacts, including those from the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Yugoslav periods, as well as traditional Bosnian folk art, to protect the nation’s heritage.
- Medical Devices and Equipment: Subject to approval and documentation to ensure compliance with Bosnian health and safety standards.
EORI Number Bosnia
You will need an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) for the UK when arranging shipping to Bosnia, alongside a range of other customs requirements. See our blog on what is an EORI Number? for more information.
It is important to note that simply registering with HMRC as an importer of goods from Bosnia will not be sufficient on its own to begin trading with Bosnian suppliers.
Sending Freight To Bosnia Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina is a complicated country, defined by the Dayton Agreement after the Bosnian war 1992-95. The second tier of government comprises two separate entities – the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosniak and Croat) and the Republika Srpska (Serb) – each with roughly one half of the territory. All three ethnic groups have equal constitutional status in the whole territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This led to a confusing plethora of names; the whole country may be referred to as simply Bosnia, though more properly Bosnia and Herzegovina or Bosnia-Herzegovina (“Bosna I Hercegovina” in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian – often abbreviated “BiH”).
The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina comprises two historical regions of the same names but excludes Republika Srpska. Herzegovina comprises 3 cantons (counties) of West Herzegovina, Herzegovina-Neretva, and Canton 10; Bosnia has 7 cantons of Una-Sana, Posavina, Tuzla, Zenica-Doboj, Bosnia-Podrinje, Central Bosnia, and Sarajevo.
Republika Srpska has no cantons but is divided directly into 80 separate municipalities. The city of Brcko in the northeast is home to Brcko District, a self-governing administrative unit under the sovereignty of Bosnia-Herzegovina; it is part of both the Federation and Republika Srpska.
Fortunately, there are no active borders between the various entities, despite continuing tensions; however, the mountainous terrain, atrocious driving by many, dangerous overtaking on narrow highways, and generally poor condition of roads still make it difficult – there is little motorway, mainly the A1/E73 Sarajevo to Kakanj and E661 Gradiska to Banja Luka.
