Customs system in the Republic of Croatia

Postoji više kriterija po kojima se mogu razlikovati carine, pa shodno tome ima više vrsta carina. Carinski sustav ima za cilj provoditi nadzor nad robom koja prolazi carinskim područjem. Za neometano odvijanje trgovine potrebno je regulirati carinski sustav. Nakon ulaska Republike Hrvatske u Europsku uniju, Hrvatska je uvela mnoge promjene u carinski sustav.

Carinska uprava Republike Hrvatske u svom radu primjenjuje nacionalne, europske i međunarodne carinske norme i praksu.Customs are one of the oldest tax forms, and it's payable on all goods which are imported.
