Importing and Exporting to Slovenia

Exporting and Importing to Slovenia

Slovenia possesses a rich history of research and development in IT, with its universities and research institutions earning widespread respect for their significant contributions. Slovenia’s export landscape is also favorable, with a strong export-driven economy reinforcing its position in global trade. Coupled with an educated workforce and an evolving digital transformation, Slovenia is emerging as a key player in the tech sector.

The Port of Koper is one of the major maritime ports in Slovenia. Its popularity is growing rapidly due to its strategic location, which connects international shipping routes between the Adriatic Sea and Central Europe. This port further provides a gateway to global trade, making Slovenia an attractive country to import into.

Unique Pain Points for Slovenia

Dependent on External Demands

Slovenia’s transport and logistical hub position has exposed the country to global disruptions. For example, the Red Sea shipping crisis and tariffs implemented in the EU all add challenges for Slovenia and hinder the ease of trade.

EORI Number in Slovenia

If you are a non-EU company considering Slovenia for imports or exports, you must obtain an Economic Operator Identification and Registration (EORI) number. This number lets Slovenian customs track your shipments smoothly across Europe. However, obtaining this number can be an administrative burden.

Limited Port Capacity

Although the Port of Koper allows for easy access to trade, the country primarily depends on this single port, which increases vulnerability to disruptions. This creates logistical issues and bottlenecks, making it more challenging to navigate imports into Slovenia.
