Why Croatia buyers work with us
Croatia's strong tourism sector creates steady demand from hotels, restaurants and caterers, and Rijeka connects to Central Europe.
As your UAE-based trading partner, we source and vet suppliers, check quality and specification, and handle shipping and documents so you deal with one counterparty. Terms and pricing are agreed in writing before you commit.
Corporate tax and VAT are set at UAE federal level and applied the same way regardless of which EU country your business is based in.
Rice, tea, coffee and spices for Croatia
Choose a commodity to start a quote. We confirm current EU import rules for your product before you commit.
- Shipping route
- Sea freight from Gulf and South Asian ports to Rijeka, Ploče and Split, then onward road or rail delivery within Croatia.
- EU import rules
- Shipments must meet EU food safety rules, including limits on pesticide residues and contaminants, and pass official import controls at the EU port of entry.
- Coffee and deforestation rules
- Coffee falls under the EU deforestation regulation. Its application dates have been postponed more than once, so we confirm the current dates and due-diligence data before shipping.
- Documents and customs
- Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and, where required, certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate, prepared for your Croatia customs agent.

Tax across Croatia and the UAE
The UAE has double tax treaties with most EU member states, and the standard UAE corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, with 5% VAT. Croatia companies with a UAE subsidiary should also review their home-country rules on controlled foreign companies and permanent establishment.
We check the current treaty position and coordinate with your Croatia tax adviser before you structure.
Compliance comes first
Questions from Croatia clients
Do you ship directly to Croatia, or only through the EU as a whole?
We ship directly to ports and inland destinations in Croatia, most commonly through Rijeka, Ploče and Split, and prepare the customs documents your local agent needs.
Is the UAE corporate tax rate different for Croatia companies?
No. UAE corporate tax and VAT are federal rates that apply the same way regardless of where your company's owners or customers are based.
Can you supply Croatia hotels, restaurants and roasters directly?
Yes. We supply wholesale volumes to distributors, hotels, restaurants, roasters and retailers, and can arrange samples before a commercial order.
