Export Car to Bosnia and Herzegovina – RDW Office Hengelo
Do you want to export a car from the Netherlands to Bosnia and Herzegovina? Auto Export Document in Hengelo prepares all Dutch export paperwork the same day. Bosnia has a large diaspora in the Netherlands, and every year many families and traders bring a solid Dutch used car back to Sarajevo, Tuzla or Banja Luka. Because Bosnia is not an EU member, an EX-A export/customs declaration is required and the buyer clears the vehicle through Bosnian customs (UIO/ITA). The good news: Bosnia is part of the Green Card system, so our export insurance covers the whole trip.
Why export a car from the Netherlands to Bosnia in 2026?
Bosnia and Herzegovina relies heavily on imported used cars, and Dutch vehicles enjoy an excellent reputation because of their documented APK inspections and reliable maintenance records. The strong Bosnian community in the Netherlands means there is steady, personal demand.
As a non-EU country, Bosnia applies customs duties and VAT (PDV, 17%) on imported vehicles, cleared through the Indirect Taxation Authority (UIO/ITA) at the border. After clearance the buyer registers the car with the local traffic police (MUP) after a technical inspection.
Bosnia is a member of the Green Card system, so the 14-day export insurance we provide is valid for the entire drive through the EU and into Bosnia. We arrange the RDW deregistration, the EX-A declaration and the white export plates.
