How to Ship a Car to Bosnia From the USA
If you are traveling or moving to Bosnia, you may want to take your car. To get your car to Bosnia, you need to use an international vehicle-shipping company. When you get your vehicle from the port in Bosnia, you typically have to pay duty fees of approximately 21 percent. But if you can prove you have owned the car for six months, you are allowed a duty-free import into the country.

Review the quotes and select a company. The two shipping methods you will see quotes for are the container method and roll-on, roll-off method (RORO). Container shipping is generally more expensive because the car is shipped in a locked container. With RORO, the car is driven onto the deck of the ship and then driven off once in Bosnia.
