While UK exporters don’t charge UK VAT on shipments to Kosovo, import VAT may be payable when the goods arrive.

Standard taxable goods and services | 18% |
Reduced rate goods and services (e.g., IT equipment, medical supplies) | 8% |
Exports and international transport | 0% |
EXPORT RESTRICTIONS WHEN SHIPPING TO KOSOVO
Although Kosovo is outside the EU, certain UK export restrictions still apply. Before arranging freight to Kosovo, it’s important to ensure your goods comply with UK export laws and Kosovan import rules. For advice on restricted items or required licences, contact our team before booking. Typical restrictions include:
- Hazardous chemicals and industrial substances
- Unlicensed pharmaceuticals or medical supplies
- Counterfeit goods and items infringing intellectual property
We can help you navigate any documentation requirements and ensure your shipping to Kosovo complies with international and local regulations.
DO YOU NEED AN EORI NUMBER TO SHIP TO KOSOVO?
Yes, UK businesses must have an Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number to export goods to Kosovo. If you haven’t registered yet, we can guide you through the process. Our team also supports small businesses unfamiliar with customs procedures, ensuring smooth and compliant shipping to Kosovo every time.
