Serbia and Montenegro Import Regulations for Pre-Owned (Used and Refurbished) Medical Devices - Customs Forum

**admin** · 07-23-2011, 18:20 PM

General Market Condition: No Restrictions
The Former Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) permits the importation of used equipment other than vehicles and construction equipment. Tariffs are generally the same or slightly higher than for new equipment of the same type. Vehicles equipped with medical equipment may be imported if they are not more than 4 years old.
The used equipment market in the FRY is relatively new and undeveloped. Most large firms are socially owned and appear to be adverse to purchases of used equipment. Reports indicate that price is often not the primary criterion for decision makers of such firms. Smaller firms appear to have some interest in used equipment, but face bureaucratic hurdles and possess low purchasing power. The Serbian government recently decided to prohibit imports of used clothing, which was beginning to gain a foothold in the FRY. This ban sends a cautionary signal about prospects for significant development of the used equipment market, although the ban may be an isolated case since it was part of a set of actions taken to reduce imports of consumer goods.
