Goods to be declared
Travellers entering the customs territory of Community must declare the following goods:
- goods not intended for personal use,
- goods obtained outside EU which exceed the duty free allowances,
- goods that are subject to prohibitions and restrictions.
If a customs office is equipped with separate channels (red and green exit), you must use a red channel when carrying such goods in order to submit a customs declaration. Take the initiative and declare these goods whenever a customs office does not have separate control exits. You may use the green channel whenever you do not carry any goods requiring any declaration.
In the case of doubt, you should declare all goods. If any tax or customs exemptions apply, these will certainly be granted to you.
When entering Slovenia from a non-EU country and carrying goods purchased in an EU country, you should keep the receipts ready, so as not to be asked to pay customs duties or taxes again.
Personal luggage
As a traveller with habitual residence in an EU country, you may re-import to EU items in your personal luggage, which you carry with you when leaving for a non-EU country. However, while abroad, these goods must not be altered in any way.
In the case of goods that still look new, or valuable goods, you should take the receipts with you, so as not to give rise to any doubts concerning the provenance of the goods.
As a traveller with habitual residence in a non-EU country, you may use any items which you carry with you upon your entry and use duty free as travel utensils for the period of your stay in EU. However, it is not admissible to give these goods to other persons. Whenever these items include valuable goods, the customs may require a customs declaration on entry in order to check on their re-export.
Travelling by train
When sending personal luggage as consignment goods, you will be handed, when checking in your luggage, a customs form containing all important information.
The railway will handle any further customs formalities for you.
