Recouping the Costs

In the case of the import of goods, a tax liability shall arise on the day a customs debt arises. The tax shall be calculated and collected by the customs house that carries out the customs clearing proceedings at the same time as the calculation and collection of the customs debt, according to regulations about calculation and collection of the customs debt. In practice, a forwarder which one uses for custom declaration calculates custom and VAT. The amount of value added tax calculated and collected by the customs office in the course of imports should be treated as tax prepayment.

Basically this means that if you have a Croatian registered company and are declared for PDV, you can offset the charges, and claim the PDV back. You are unlikely to be PDV registered if your declared turnover is less than 85,000 Kuna. You should speak to your accountant to get more details.

Also the actual removers costs are charges that are deductible business expenses from any profit you generate, no matter if you bought as a company or as private individual.
