Reaching the Port
Once your motorcycle has made it to the port of Ploče in Croatia and later transported by land to Bosnia, customs will work to clear it before releasing it to you. You will need to pay all the taxes and duties that you are required to before you are eligible to drive it. The duty is calculated at 0% to 15% though the average tax is around 5% while there is an additional 17% VAT based on the CIF value of the moving. You will then need to register your bike so it can be legal to drive in Bosnia. It's important that you study up on the rules and regulations for driving in Bosnia.
Hauling Options
There are three options to choose from when shipping your motorcycle to Bosnia from U.S. If you are in a rush to get it you may want to choose to air ship your bike. Other options include shipping containers and Roll On/ Roll-Off. Whether you choose to ship your motorbike by air or by container, you will want to pack your bike in a crate. When you pack it this way, you reduce the chance that the bike receives damage while in the process. If you are not able to pack up your bike into a crate, you can still ship your bike by air or by Roll On/ Roll-Off method. There will still need to be some degree of preparedness to ship your bike to you. First, your bike can go onto a pallet, and the wheels will be secured so it will not be able to move in any direction.
