Lithuania's Trade Policy

Since joining the European Union on May 1, 2004, Lithuania has implemented the EU's common external trade policy, encompassing unified customs tariffs, import bans, import licenses, technical trade barriers, and inspection and quarantine measures. Lithuanian-origin products are considered EU-origin goods and are subject to the same export tariffs as products from other EU member states when exported to third countries.

Import and Export Commodity Inspection and Quarantine

Lithuania adheres to the EU's unified import and export commodity inspection and quarantine regime. Additionally, relevant Lithuanian laws and regulations include the Consumer Protection Law, the Product Quality Law, the Tobacco Control Law, the Biofuels Law, and the Construction Law.

Import Policy

To import goods into Lithuania, you must first obtain an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) number from the Lithuanian Customs Administration. You will also need to prepare a customs declaration that provides information about the goods, such as their origin, value, and destination. The customs declaration must be submitted to Lithuanian Customs electronically.

Export Policy

To export goods from Lithuania, you must also prepare a customs declaration and submit it to Lithuanian Customs electronically. There are no specific requirements for exporting goods from Lithuania, but you may need to obtain additional documentation depending on the type of goods being exported. For example, you may need to obtain an export license for certain types of goods, such as weapons or endangered species.
