Before importing/exporting a vehicle to Bosnia, you must prepare your vehicle to ship a clean, empty vehicle from one port to another. A vehicle inspection is performed before loading and before you can claim it again across the seas. Have all antennas removed or retracted? If you have any CDs, cassette decks, or electronic devices that are not mounted or installed into the car, you will need to remove them for the trip. No gate or garage door openers are allowed, and no toll passes are to be left on the mirror or windshield. The only items allowed in your vehicle include vehicle items, a car tire jack, and a spare tire. Remove all luggage, bike, or ski racks that are not permanent. No car, tire, or grill covers are allowed during transit. You can find out more about shipping your vehicles to ensure that they reach the new destination in Bosnia safely.

Importing your Vehicle Overseas From The United States
Importing your car over the ocean is the most time- and cost-efficient option, but it will set you back a pretty penny and require a stack of paperwork to get through customs. One missing piece of paper could delay your departure by hours. When delivering a vehicle to BiH, you must adhere to certain customs requirements and pay certain duty rates.
Main Ports
There are a few choices to make in ports to Bosnia. The main ports in Bosnia include Banja Luka, Tuzla, Mostar, and Zenica.
Required Documents For Transporting A Vehicle
To ship your car to Bosnia, you will need the following documents:
- Title.
- Certificate of Registration.
- License of ownership.
- 21% daily rate due when paperwork is verified.
While shipping your vehicle, you need to have the required documents for Bosnia and be present during the customs clearance inspection. All used vehicle owners are exempt from duty import if they have owned and driven their vehicle for at least six months.
Importing Options
When shipping/exporting a vehicle to Bosnia, you will have two delivery options: roll-on/roll-off and container shipping. Once your vehicle has passed inspection before boarding, you can choose which shipping method you prepare.
#1—Roll on/ Roll off—This method is accomplished by rolling or driving the vehicle onto the ship, where it will be fastened down to the deck during transport. It is the most cost-effective. However, it leaves your vehicle exposed to any weather conditions, which may or may not be important.
#2-Container shipping—It is more expensive but may be more cost-effective if you have an antique or exotic car that cannot be exposed to weather conditions. Containers are available to store your car while traveling internationally. Once your vehicle passes inspection, it will be your responsibility to hire someone to hoist your car up to the container assigned and then secure the vehicle inside the container so it won’t roll around or come out of the container.
Arrival Of A Car
When the vehicle arrives in Bosnia, there are various procedures to complete and taxes to be paid to ensure safe entry into the new country. You will be required to:
- Pay appropriate import taxes and duties
- Put in the application for identification plate registration from the Bosnian government
- Try to get all the important information about BiH’s driving rules and instruction
You can contact the US embassy in Bosnia to get assistance importing your vehicle.
