According to the data of the Indirect Taxation Authority of BiH on the import of passenger vehicles to our country in the first three months of 2015, a total of 15.487 passenger vehicles have been imported to BiH, which is for 1.893 vehicles more compared to the same period in 2014, when the total of 13.594 vehicles have been imported to BiH.
Ratko Kovacevic, a spokesman of the ITA of BiH, reminded that the significant increase in the import of vehicles to BiH was recorded in 2013 as well, when the customs duties to the import of vehicles from the EU and the restriction of the import of vehicles older than seven years to BiH were fully abolished.
“Because of that, older and cheaper vehicles have been imported. More than 90% are related to passenger vehicles, while the smaller part relates to the new vehicles. The value of imported cars in the first three months of 2015 amounts to 127 million BAM, and in the same period of the last year it was 113 million BAM“, said Kovacevic.
