Selling tyres into Croatia
Tyres EPR in Croatia sits inside the national fund system with no tyre-specific EU directive behind it, so the Croatian charge is the whole substance of compliance here.
A producer or importer of tyres pays FZOEU a management fee and files monthly in RPPO, the same single-counterparty routine as every other stream.
Before you can sell tyres in Croatia
You are obligated if any of these apply:
- You manufacture tyres in Croatia and sell them domestically.
- You import tyres into Croatia for sale or distribution.
- You sell tyres into Croatia from abroad.
There is no volume threshold. The first tyre placed triggers registration.
Getting your Croatian registration in place
Registration runs through the e-Građani portal into RPPO, and a unique registration number is assigned on first login.
A foreign producer cannot self-register. An authorised representative in Croatia (ovlašteni predstavnik stranog proizvođača) registers for each producer separately, uploads the authorisation documents for FZOEU approval, and reports and pays on the producer's behalf.
Your reporting duties in Croatia
Reporting is monthly. You declare the tyres placed on the Croatian market in the previous calendar month and file in RPPO by the 20th of the current month. The management fee is due by the end of the reporting month.
The fee amount is set by government decree NN 137/2024, but no public per-tyre figure is published. There is no registration fee; RPPO is free. The wider picture across all streams sits on EPR in Croatia.
The dates ahead for tyres in Croatia
Nothing specific is dated for this stream. There is no EU tyre-EPR law arriving, so the Croatian fund charge stands on its own.
Enforcement sits under the Waste Management Act (NN 84/21), with misdemeanour fines for failing to register, report or pay, enforced by MINGOR and the environmental inspection.
