Shipping to Croatia from the UK
At Barrington Freight, we don’t just provide expertise with business-to-business road freight services to Croatia from the UK but we can also help with your other logistical requirements, as well. For many smaller businesses – and some larger ones, too – dealing with the paperwork that is required when trading with companies in EU member states is a real administrative hassle. That’s why we also provide customs clearances for any British exporters who use our freight forwarding service. Our customs clearance agents, who are well-versed in everything required by EU customs officials, will ensure your Croatia-bound goods comply with all regulations once they make landfall within the trading bloc
We will take care of EORI registration with you if your firm has never exported before. We can also prepare your online declaration with HMRC so your goods will be allowed to leave the UK, typically via a port on the South Coast but from other locations around the country, too.

Shipping Times From UK to Croatia
How Long Does It Take to Ship to Croatia?
STANDARD ROAD FREIGHT TO CROATIA 5 DAYS
With our full-load standard service, it takes until day 5 for a delivery to Croatia to reach its final destination, starting from collection on day 1. This lead time covers the entire country, not just the major cities such as Zagreb, Split, or Rijeka. No matter the size of the pallet or product you need to ship, we have a wide range of vehicle and container options and tailor each delivery to meet our customers’ specific needs.
Our groupage service is great for smaller cargo deliveries which are less than a full or half load. Expect groupage shipping from Croatia to the UK or UK to Croatia to take from the start of week 1 to the delivery by week 3. We are Croatia freight experts and ship spare parts for ships and yachts, machinery, textiles and a whole host of other cargo to Croatia’s ports every single day.
EXPRESS SHIPPING TO CROATIA 4 DAYS
When time counts, you need to ensure that your deliveries to Croatia get there when you say they will. That is why our operations team is in constant contact with our driving teams to ensure we can keep you fully updated on progress. Whether you need several lorries to convey a large order to Zagreb or simply need a couple of palletised items to make their way along the Adriatic Coast to places like Split or Dubrovnik, we can help.
We deal with all pallet sizes and can supply you with a Sprinter van or a container truck depending on your requirements. For express shipping to Croatia, we collect on day 1 and ensure delivery by day 4.

CROATIAN IMPORT CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS
Customs Considerations, VAT and Prohibited Items
VAT Croatia
To arrange a delivery from Croatia to the UK, you will need to handle customs declarations, which include VAT notices, commodity codes and possibly excise duty, too. VAT-registered businesses might be able to zero-rate goods they export to the UK, provided certain conditions are met. In Croatia, VAT is referred to as “Porez na dodanu vrijednost” (PDV). Croatian VAT rules are in line with EU regulations, but there may be variations in their application to different types of goods. The standard VAT rate in Croatia is 25%, which is slightly higher than the standard rate in many other EU countries.
| Goods or Services | VAT Rate Croatia |
|---|---|
| Standard taxable goods and services | 25% |
| First reduced rate goods and services (e.g., certain newspapers and magazines) | 13% |
| Second reduced rate goods and services (e.g., certain food products, pharmaceutical products) | 5% |
| Intra-community and international transport | 0% |
Restrictions
Certain goods are restricted in Croatia. Many of the rules on shipping to Croatia are the same as other EU countries but you should check with Croatian customs for anything non-standard. Typically, the following items are considered to be of most interest to customs officials.
- Pharmaceutical Products: Certain medications, especially those that are narcotics or psychotropic substances, are subject to stringent export controls.
- Tobacco and Alcohol: There are specific restrictions and high excise duties on the export of tobacco products and alcoholic beverages.
- Olive Oil and Wine: As key agricultural products, the export of Croatian olive oil and wine is subject to quality control regulations and geographic origin rules.
- Drones: Croatia imposes specific regulations on the export of drones, especially those with advanced capabilities or for professional use, due to privacy and security concerns.
- Traditional Handicrafts: Regulations may apply to the export of traditional Croatian handicrafts to ensure the authenticity and preservation of cultural craftsmanship.
EORI Number Croatia
You will need an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) for the UK and any EU country you ship to and from alongside a range of other customs requirements. See our blog on what is an EORI Number? for more information.
Remember, too, that simply registering with HMRC as an importer of goods from Croatia will not be sufficient – on its own – to be able to use Croatian suppliers.
Barrington Freight operates as a customs clearance agency as well as a team of expert freight forwarders, so we can help you with all of these matters if you need us to, whether you’re importing or exporting. We have the necessary licensing arrangements in place to oversee exported goods from the UK to Croatia which has the same regulations in place as every other EU state. Therefore, we can help with multiple consignment deliveries that might include some in Croatia and some in other countries, such as those in France, Spain or Germany, for instance.
