Slovenian Import Customs Requirements
Customs Considerations, VAT and Prohibited Items
VAT SLOVENIA
When shipping from Slovenia to the UK, British importers must consider VAT declarations. In Slovenia, businesses registered for VAT, known as “DDV” (Davek na dodano vrednost), may be allowed to zero-rate goods they export to the UK, but this is not always the case so seek professional advice. Slovenian VAT regulations are in line with EU standards, as Slovenia is an EU member. Nonetheless, there may be particular differences in how these rules are applied to different types of goods. The standard VAT rate in Slovenia is 22%.
| Goods or Services | VAT Rate Slovenia |
|---|---|
| Standard taxable goods and services | 22% | First Reduced Rate goods and services (e.g. some food items and medical equipment) | 9.5% |
| Second Reduced Rate products (e.g. books and maps) | 5% |
| Zero Rated products (e.g. goods exported out the coutnry) | 0% |
Restrictions
As a courier to Slovenia and a freight forwarding firm well-versed in imports, too, it is worth seeking our advice on the international movement of any of the following restricted items:
- Cultural and Historical Artefacts: Strict regulations on the export of Slovenian artefacts, including items from the Roman era, medieval period and traditional Slovene folk art, help to protect the nation’s heritage.
- Wood and Forest Products: Due to Slovenia’s extensive forests, there are specific regulations on the export of wood and timber products to promote sustainable forestry practices and prevent illegal logging.
- Protected Species and Natural Products: Controls under CITES and Slovenian law affect the export and import of certain species, focusing on native Alpine flora and fauna, as well as products derived from them.
- Alcoholic Beverages: Specific rules and excise duties on the export and import of traditional Slovenian alcoholic products, such as Slovenian wines and schnapps, are in place to maintain quality standards.
- Honey and Bee Products: Slovenia, known for its beekeeping tradition, has specific regulations and quality standards for the export of honey and other bee-related products to preserve purity and authenticity.
EORI Number Slovenia
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 Slovenia will not be sufficient – on its own – to be able to use Slovenian 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 Slovenia 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 Slovenia and some in other countries, such as those in France, Spain or Italy, for instance.
Shipping Routes to Slovenia from the UK
The capital city of Ljubljana is our main local distribution point. Having Slovene partner depots with “men on the ground” provides us with a great logistics network and local expertise. All this adds up to an affordable delivery service that is the envy of our competitors.
Our staff and management have plenty of experience in shipping to Slovenia with road freight. As such, we are able to deliver to any of the five regions of the country including Carinthia, Styria, Slovene Littoral, Prekmurje and Carniola.
Each region is well-served by a number of motorways and main roads that make for quick and simple deliveries. However, some of the lesser-travelled roads tend to be in poor condition which is where our expertise and local partners come into play. We have a number of trustworthy connections within Slovenia and by delivering to local depots, we can ensure your cargo is in the safe hands of those who truly know the area, enabling your shipment to arrive in good time.
Our export and import services to and from Slovenia reach out also to every city town and village including Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Kranj, Velenje, Koper / Capodistria, Novo Mesto, Ptuz and Trbovlje. If wanted, we can arrange shipping to Slovenia via Kamnik, Jesenice, Domzale, Nova Gorica, Škofja Loka, Murska Sobota and Izola, among other locations.
We have an extensive amount of knowledge concerning the Slovenian road network, so we will advise our drivers on which of the country’s arterial routes are best to use, the E61, the E57 or the A2 and so on. Equally, we monitor the roads from Western Europe to Slovenia. Typically, our drivers head to Slovenia from the channel ports via Belgium, Germany and Austria. However, if it is better to send them southward through France and to enter Slovenia via its border with Italy, then we will make the necessary arrangements. Being able to reroute our drivers to avoid potential delays allows us to offer a superior service to all of our customers.
