About Serbia

Serbia is a landlocked country located in Southeast Europe on the Balkan Peninsula. The official language is Serbian. Its economy is largely driven by manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and services.

The spirits market

Alcohol is legal in Serbia for adults aged 18 and older, sold through private retail and hospitality networks with no state monopoly. Registered importers face a standard 30% customs duty, but spirits originating in the EU and CEFTA qualify for a 0% preferential rate alongside specific excise duty and 20% VAT. Local producers primarily craft fruit brandy (rakija), liqueurs, and vinjak. This tariff relief provides clear opportunities for exporters of international premium whiskies, rums, gins, and brandies.
