If you are traveling, you need to know: Crossing Borders only goods up to 200 hp
Often we have all or at least most of us, when we go to a country or to return, knew to buy anything and everything, and then on the verge of catching head wondering whether we should not just so many things to take. Therefore, we should all know how which may take through customs, so as not to come in an awkward situation.
payment of duties
As they said from the Indirect Taxation Authority, goods traveler arriving entries can be cleared with exemption from import duties, under the prescribed conditions and subject to payment of import duties. Exempt from customs duties on importation into the BiH goods contained in the personal luggage of passengers coming from abroad, and which includes non-commercial goods, including gifts and souvenirs, contained in the personal luggage of a customs value is not more than 200 hp, 200 cigarettes or 100 cigarillos or 250 grams of tobacco, two liters of table or fortified wine, sparkling wine and other similar drinks, one liter of spirits or strong liqueurs over 22 percent by volume, 60 cc / ml. perfume and 250 cc / ml. toilet water. Meat and meat products are not allowed to carry across the border, except in quantities to feed passengers from the road.
These goods customs officer relieved from import duties orally without offices of customs documents. Passengers under 17 can not import tobacco products and alcoholic beverages.
- When in the personal luggage of individual goods customs value exceeding 200 KM, it is when you enter in BiH have to collect import duties and other indirect taxes on its total customs value, because the division of the value of such goods can not be performed (eg. if the passenger carries TV worth 500 KM,
the TV can not be cleared so that the part of the value of 200 KM free of import duties, and that the part of the value of 300 KM billing and collection duties, but the customs authorities concerned television cleared the value of 500 KM and on the amount of charge and levy import duties and other indirect taxes). Likewise, it can not be cumulated benefits more passengers on importation of one case, because the privilege applies to each passenger individually (eg. When four passengers in a motor vehicle import one item worth 800 KM, and require the application of privileges can not be granted privileges, but import duties and other indirect taxes are calculated on the entire customs value of the subject), told Liberation Ratko Kovacevic, a spokesman for ITA BiH.
The traveler who upon arrival from abroad brings the goods over the quantities and values for which can be released from the payment of duties, and is intended for personal use or the use of his household and her total value does not exceed 1,500 KM, reported orally and it cleared in the summary procedure at the border crossing. These goods are cleared in a single customs rate of 10 percent. With the duty payable and VAT of 17 per cent.
Each passenger is obliged to submit to the customs authorities the customs declaration for release for free circulation of goods worth more than 1,500 KM, goods for which the customs authorities are unable to determine the type, value and origin, if the origin criteria for the amount of import duties and other indirect taxes, goods for that is, for identification and determination of other data, necessary expertise and one that is reported orally, and for which the passenger does not agree with the findings of the customs officers in terms of established type, quantity, origin, value or determined by the amount of duties and other taxes.
VAT refund
All BiH citizens who buy certain goods in the EU, have the ability to refund VAT paid on goods whose value exceeds 100 euros or from some other countries in accordance with their applicable laws. When you buy goods in the EU, must be requested form for VAT vendor who filled in and verified.
When leaving the customs territory of the EU, citizens must be reported to the relevant customs services (if traveling by land transport vehicle to the Customs Service of the Republic of Croatian). Customs Service of the Republic of Croatia shall certify the documents and after that VAT may be back in two ways. The first is to re going to the store where the goods were purchased form enclosed certified that the goods in the allotted time left the customs territory of the EU, where it gets the full amount of VAT.
Another way is to get at some of the banks in BiH carried out by VAT present documents and requested a refund. Then you do not receive the full amount of VAT from the account, as part remains for return service.
- All that BiH citizens should know that they have to apply for import clearance all the things that are entered in BiH, and in excess of 200 KM. If Customs Service BiH detected goods which are brought in BiH, and was not reported, it is believed that was done a customs offense.
Especially emphasize that in accordance with a special agreement with ITA and Customs Administration, there is no organized notification, and for those who seek a refund of VAT on the neighboring border of the EU, real-time information about it sends Customs Service of Bosnia and Herzegovina. When the person arrives at the border crossing of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but we have information on the type and value of the goods is requested for a refund of VAT on the neighboring border, said Kovacevic.
