Question 1

Da li se isplati uvoziti auto iz Amerike u BiH?

Accepted Answer

It pays on a car that is much cheaper in the US than in Bosnia after 15% duty, 17% VAT, freight, homologation and the forwarder. It does not pay on a car that turns out to have a flood title. Run the numbers on a calculator and the VIN on a history report, in that order.

Question 2

Do I need a špediter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bosnian rules require private importers to clear customs through a licensed forwarder.

Question 3

Can I check a Canadian car the same way?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Canadian provincial records and any earlier US history are in the same report.
