Import requirements & restrictions
Import licensing required
Before placing a product on the market in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the manufacturer or its BiH-based authorized representative must assess the product's conformity with BiH's own technical regulations under the Law on Technical Requirements; a customs declaration (in Bosnian, Serbian, or Croatian) plus quality-control certificates is required at import. BiH is neither an EU nor EEA member, so CE-marked goods do NOT get automatic mutual recognition here -- contrast with the EU-27 and EEA (Norway/Iceland/Liechtenstein) CE-marking rows already seeded in this table.
