Each vessel which comes into the customs territory of the EU can be subject to
control by the customs authority, whether of the Republic of Croatia, or of any
other EU member state. Therefore residents of the EU on a vessel should always
have evidence that customs and/or VAT has been paid for the specified vessel
in one of the EU member states, and evidence that the vessel has Community
status. Evidence that a vessel has Community status can be:
T2L document, or
The original invoice, or
Certificate from tax authority, or
Another available document about the payment of VAT

SAFETY AT SEA
Upon accession to the European Union (EU) on 1/7/2013 the Republic of Croatia
became a part of the customs union of the EU, which means that after that date
residents of the EU can no longer place their vessel in the temporary import
procedure in Croatia. Vessels which residents of the EU placed in the temporary
import procedure in Croatia before 1/7/2013, regardless of which flag they sail
under, can remain in the temporary procedure until the expiry of the deadline
of the temporary import which was approved by the appropriate customs office.
With the expiry of the approved deadline of temporary import EU residents are
required to complete the temporary import procedure in accordance with EU
regulations in one of three possible ways:
Releasing the vessel for free circulation, or
Re-exporting it to a third country (outside the EU), or
Transporting the vessel (under the T1 transit procedure) to another member
state of the EU.
If EU residents wish to release the vessel into free circulation in the Republic of
Croatia, they are required to submit a customs declaration to the appropriate
customs offices which will then calculate and charge the import duty and value
added tax (VAT), except in the listed following cases:
The import duty will not be charged in the following cases:
If the owner of the vessel submits evidence that the vessel has Community
status (proved by submitting T2L documents), or
By submitting documents with which the owner proves the preferential origin of
the item (EUR 1 issued no later than 30/6/2013)
VAT will not be charged in the following cases:
If the owner of the vessel provides proof that the VAT has already been settled
in another member state of the EU, or
If the date of the first use of the vessel was more than 8 years before the date of
the accession of Croatia into the EU, or
If the amount of VAT that the owner of the vessel needs to pay is less than
160 HRK (approx. 22 EUR).
For vessels in the ownership of residents of third countries placed in the temporary import procedure before 1/7/2013, upon the expiry of the temporary import
procedure they must also complete the procedure as in the case of EU residents. Similarly, if owners of vessels from third countries decide to release their
vessels into free circulation in Croatia the same conditions apply as for vessels
owned by EU residents. When persons from third countries decide to complete
the temporary import procedure by re-exporting the vessel outside the customs
region of the EU they can in the future seek permission of the temporary import
of the vessel in the EU again, and the procedure will be approved for them upon
the fulfilment of all prescribed conditions.
In the Republic of Croatia there exists a search and rescue service, which
consists of coast guard ships, special purpose vessels plus aeroplanes and
helicopters. A national centre for search and rescue, the Maritime Rescue
Coordination Centre, manages the service and it is on duty 24 hours a day,
whilst a continuous duty is also performed by eight port authorities, their branch
offices, coastal radio stations, lighthouses and search and rescue units. There
is a continuous duty on VHF channels 10 and 16, whilst the national call centre
telephone number for all sea-related needs is 155 (from abroad +385 51 155). In
the Republic of Croatia there is single telephone number for emergency cases
112. Speedboats, jet propelled boats and hovercraft can only be used in permitted areas, and which cannot be closer than 300 m to the shore.
