About North Macedonia

North Macedonia is a landlocked nation located on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe. Macedonian is the primary official language, with Albanian also widely spoken. The country's economy is traditionally driven by agriculture, manufacturing, textiles, and wine production.

The spirits market

Alcohol is legal in North Macedonia for adults aged 18, with sales allowed in licensed retail and on-premise venues subject to evening closing hours. Registered commercial entities import spirits via the customs single window, paying 0% import duty on goods from the EU, CEFTA, and the United States, alongside an excise duty of MKD 340 per litre of pure alcohol and 18% VAT. While local producers primarily manufacture grape brandy (rakija), mastika, and vinjak, zero-rate duties support opportunities for exporters of premium whiskey, gin, and rum.
