What you can bring

  • Alcohol: allowed, within limits — Quoted directly from Customs: "1 liter of spirits or 1 liter of sparkling and liqueur wines or suitable combination of mentioned drinks and 1 liter of other wines" may be brought duty-free as personal luggage. Beer and olive oil have no precisely defined quantity, but Customs states it "must be obviously intended for personal use and not for resale."Detailscompare everywhere →
  • Cannabis: prohibited — Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I narcotic drug under Serbia's Law on Psychoactive Controlled Substances (Zakon o psihoaktivnim kontrolisanim supstancama); unauthorized production, sale and possession are criminalized under Criminal Code Arts. 246 and 246a, including for small personal-use quantities. There is no legal personal-import pathway or medical-use exception for travelers.Detailscompare everywhere →
  • Cash: allowed, must be declared — Quoted directly from Customs: "You may bring into Serbia as much money as you wish, but if it is EUR 10.000 or more (in dinars or other foreign currency) your obligation is to DECLARE it to Customs, the same as you would do when entering/leaving EU." On departure, all passengers may take out up to EUR 10,000 freely; Serbian residents may not exceed that without evidence of prior import/withdrawal, and non-residents may exceed it only with specific receipts (a customs cash-declaration form from entry, a Serbian bank withdrawal receipt, or an exchange-office receipt for RSD obtained via card use in Serbia).Detailscompare everywhere →
  • CBD: depends on specifics — Legal hemp cultivation exists in Serbia (fibre, seed and further-propagation use, THC capped at 0.3%, requiring Ministry of Agriculture authorisation), but according to CMS Expert Guides, "the extraction of CBD oil is not regulated by law" and Serbia's Commission for Psychoactive Controlled Substances has given an opinion that CBD itself is a psychoactive substance capable of unwanted effects.Detailscompare everywhere →
  • Controlled medication: depends on specifics — Quoted directly from Customs: "if medicines that you use contain controlled psychoactive substances and/or if their quantity exceeds one package of up to 30 dosage units, you should obtain the approval for import of medicines for personal needs from the competent ministry" — i.e. the general 15-day/no-approval rule does not apply once a controlled substance is involved; approval from the Ministry of Health is needed regardless of how short the trip is.Detailscompare everywhere →
  • Drones: depends on specifics — Quoted directly from Customs: whether a permit is needed to import/export a drone "depends on whether it, in terms of its technical characteristics, meets the conditions prescribed in the National Control List of Dual Use Items and the National Control List of Weapons and Military Equipment." The permit, if needed, is issued by the Ministry of Internal and Foreign Trade. A list of UAV models exempt from the permit requirement exists in the Ministry's own "Instructions for the identification of UAV" document, which wasn't read in this pass.Detailscompare everywhere →
  • E-cigarettes: allowed, within limits — Quoted directly from Customs: passengers "are also allowed to carry related tobacco products in their luggage in quantities for personal use (electronic cigarettes, vapes, nicotine pouches and hookah aromas)". No specific numeric limit (device count or e-liquid volume) is given — only the general "personal use, not for resale" standard that applies to the whole tobacco-products allowance.Detailscompare everywhere →
  • Fresh produce: depends on specifics — Customs' general food rule: goods "may only be brought into/taken out of country in reasonable quantities for personal use and in the original manufacturer's wrapping." Unlike animal-origin food, no numeric cap is stated for plant products in this source, and no phytosanitary-certificate requirement for fresh fruit, vegetables, seeds or live plants is mentioned.Detailscompare everywhere →
  • Meat & dairy: allowed, within limits — Quoted directly from Customs: food "may only be brought into/taken out of country in reasonable quantities for personal use and in the original manufacturer's wrapping. If you are importing food of animal origin, its quantity is limited to a maximum of one kilogram."Detailscompare everywhere →
  • Prescription medication: allowed, within limits — Quoted directly from Customs: medicines may be brought in "for personal passenger's use and for animals accompanying the passenger, in quantity needed for regular therapy not longer than 15 days. In that case medical opinion won't be necessary." For a longer stay, "a larger quantity of medicines required for the implementation of usual therapy during several months of stay (more than 15 days, but no more than six months)" is allowed but needs prior approval from "the competent ministry" (the Ministry of Health).Detailscompare everywhere →
  • Tobacco: depends on specifics — Quoted directly from Customs: "50 cigarettes, 25 cigarillos (cigars up to 3g), 10 cigars, 50g of tobacco or suitable combination of all mentioned products." This covers cut tobacco, pipe tobacco, hookah tobacco, chewing tobacco, snuff, and heated (non-burning) tobacco products. Oral tobacco (snus) is explicitly excluded: "tobacco for oral use (snus) whose import and distribution in the Republic of Serbia is prohibited."Detailscompare everywhere →
  • Weapons: depends on specifics — Quoted directly from Customs: "Passengers are not allowed to carry weapons across the border unless they possess the permit issued by a competent authority" (the Ministry of Domestic and Foreign Trade). An exception exists for hunting weapons and ammunition, which may be brought in temporarily "in appropriate quantities" specifically for organized hunting tours or shooting-sport events.Detailscompare everywhere →
