Route guide

Customs & documentation — Serbia is not EU

Serbia has its own customs territory. Commercial goods need: CMR waybill, commercial invoice, packing list, and a T1 transit document through North Macedonia (EU candidate) and Serbia. Carriers handle the T1 in most cases. Expect 1–3 hours at the Serbian border (Preševo/Tabanovce) during peak periods.

Route: Evzonoi → Skopje → Niš → Belgrade

The E75 is the main artery: Thessaloniki → Evzonoi border → Skopje → Kumanovo/Tabanovce border → Niš → Belgrade. Distance ~1,070 km; drive time ~12 hours excluding stops and customs. North Macedonia has toll roads; Serbia charges tolls on A1/E75.

What to include for a Serbia-bound quote

For commercial goods: HS tariff codes, exact weight, declared value in EUR, recipient's import VAT number (PIB) in Serbia. For personal moves: CMR and a simple goods list suffice. Providing accurate details upfront prevents customs delays.

What does a pallet from Athens to Belgrade cost?
€160–€290 for a standard euro-pallet via LTL, including the T1 document. Full truckloads range €1,300–€2,300. Prices are higher than EU corridors due to customs handling.
