FAQs


Where does Croatia import eggs?

ACroatia produces a significant share of its domestic shell egg needs; however, it frequently imports processed egg products to meet the growing demands of its food manufacturing, hospitality, and export sectors. These imports include pasteurized liquid eggs and powdered eggs, which are not always available in sufficient quantity or format from local sources.

Top sources of egg imports for Croatia:

  • Poland, Hungary, and Romania – Regional EU suppliers offering competitively priced processed eggs with short transit times and full EU compliance.
  • Netherlands & Germany – Known for supplying premium-grade processed egg products with BRCGS, IFS, and ISO certifications.
  • Italy & Spain – Providers of organic and value-added formats including cage-free and specialty eggs for premium buyers.
  • United States & Brazil – Export shelf-stable and certified powdered egg products for industrial and bulk applications.

Eggs Unlimited works with EU-certified suppliers and Croatian importers to deliver traceable, regulation-compliant egg products tailored to meet local and export-driven demand.

Why does Croatia Import Eggs?

Croatia meets most of its retail shell egg demand domestically but depends on processed egg imports to support the country’s industrial food sector, HoReCa market, and export-oriented food production.

Key reasons for importing eggs:

  • Food industry demand
    Food manufacturers producing sauces, baked goods, desserts, and frozen meals rely on liquid and powdered eggs for efficiency and consistency.
  • EU food safety compliance
    Imported egg products are standardized and pasteurized, ensuring compliance with EU hygiene and food safety regulations.
  • Certifications for export markets
    Processors exporting to Germany, Austria, and other EU neighbors require ingredients with BRCGS, Organic, or ISO 22000 certifications.
  • Tourism and institutional use
    Croatia’s strong tourism sector and institutional kitchens (schools, hospitals, etc.) depend on bulk, safe, and easy-to-use egg products.

What makes eggs in Croatia compliant?

As a member of the European Union, Croatia applies harmonized EU regulations for all egg imports, with oversight by national food safety and customs agencies.

Regulatory authorities:

  • Ministry of Agriculture (Ministarstvo poljoprivrede) – Enforces EU veterinary standards and coordinates with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
  • Croatian Food Agency (HAH) – Oversees food labeling, safety, and traceability standards.
  • Customs Administration of Croatia – Handles import declarations and tax/duty classification under EU tariff codes.

Required documentation:

  • EU-standard Veterinary Health Certificate
  • Certificate of Origin (for non-EU imports)
  • Certificate of Analysis (microbiological and chemical safety)
  • Full traceability documentation under EU law (Regulation 178/2002)
  • Commercial invoice and transport documents (e.g., CMR, bill of lading)
  • Product labeling in Croatian

Labeling Requirements (in Croatian):

  • Product name and egg format (e.g., Pasterizirani žumanjak u prahu)
  • Net weight or volume
  • Country of origin
  • Production and expiration dates
  • Storage instructions
  • Batch or lot number
  • Importer/distributor name and contact
  • Certifications (e.g., EU Organic, Halal, BRCGS)

How much do eggs cost in Croatia?

Egg prices in Croatia are influenced by EU-wide market trends, input costs, and buyer-specific requirements for format and certification.

Key pricing factors:

  • Feed ingredient pricing
    Costs of corn and soy impact regional shell egg prices and affect processed egg pricing indirectly.
  • EU supply dynamics
    Surpluses or shortages in markets like Poland or Germany can influence regional prices for powdered and liquid egg formats.
  • Product type and certification
    Certified formats (e.g., Organic, Halal, BRCGS) and shelf-stable egg powders generally carry higher price points.
  • Logistics and transport costs
    Imports from within the EU benefit from competitive ground freight rates. Products from the U.S. or Brazil incur higher shipping and documentation costs.
