Freight to Bosnia and Herzegovina

Using the Türkiye–Bosnia and Herzegovina free trade agreement requires checking the origin rules and suitable proof of origin. An EUR.1 or an invoice declaration may be used when the relevant conditions are met. Confirm the documents and tax position with your customs broker before loading.

Before loading, check that the commercial documents and the selected proof of origin contain consistent information.

Road routes from Türkiye to Bosnia and Herzegovina pass through the territory of other countries. Transport is therefore planned under an appropriate transit document (such as a TIR carnet or T1) and customs supervision in the countries crossed; transit formalities are completed at the destination customs office. The route is chosen according to the document status, border congestion and the nature of the cargo.

Border crossings, transit formalities and the delivery address are considered together. Having documents ready and consignee details confirmed helps with planning.

• The invoice and information for any required proof of origin are ready.
• The commercial invoice and the packing list are consistent.
• The route and the countries to be crossed are clear for the transit document.
• The address and contact details of the consignee are complete.

• Quantities and weights on the commercial invoice and the packing list do not match.
• The description of the goods is too general, so the customs tariff code cannot be determined.
• Proof of origin needed for preferential treatment is missing; the expected tariff may not apply.
• The consignee's telephone number and contact person are missing, which delays the delivery appointment.
