Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to deal with customs when sending from the UK to Croatia?

Yes. Since the UK is no longer in the EU, you’ll need to complete and attach a customs declaration. However, when shipping to Croatia, you typically won’t speak with customs yourself, as the carrier handles the clearance process.

But you are responsible for providing accurate contents, value, and recipient contact details (CN22 is used for up to £270, and CN23 for amounts above £270 for Royal Mail services).

How should I address my parcel for delivery to Croatia?

When you send a parcel to Croatia, use the standard international order (recipient name, street and number, then the postcode and locality), and include the ISO country code HR before the postcode as ‘HR’ for mail sent from abroad. Here’s an example:

Mr. Ivan Horvat (Recipient’s full name)
