Hrvatska Pošta is the national postal operator in Croatia. If you have a shipment number, you can track your item on the official Hrvatska Pošta tracking page or use Ship24 to follow it across multiple carrier networks. Tracking is commonly available for parcels, registered mail, Paket24 shipments, and many international items.

You can track a Hrvatska Pošta shipment with your item number as soon as the parcel or mail item is accepted and scanned into the system. Tracking helps you see where the shipment was accepted, whether it has reached a sorting facility, if it has entered customs, and when it is out for delivery or delivered.
If your item is travelling internationally, you may receive updates from multiple postal or logistics operators during transit. In those cases, universal tracking tools can be useful because they can show the handover between carriers in one place.
The most important publicly visible update affecting tracking in early 2026 is a service disruption notice published by Hrvatska Pošta on 2 March 2026. Postal traffic to Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iran has been operating with difficulties and intermittent interruptions. If your shipment is going to or from those routes, tracking may update more slowly than usual and delivery times may be longer.
You have two main ways to track a shipment. The first is through the official Hrvatska Pošta tracking page, which shows updates recorded by the postal operator. The second is through Ship24, which is useful for international shipments that move between different postal and courier networks.
Ship24 can help when your shipment starts with one carrier and is later handed over to Hrvatska Pošta or another delivery partner. This is especially useful for cross-border parcels where you want to see the full route in one place.
The official Hrvatska Pošta tracking page is the best place to check operator-level scan events, delivery attempts, and local handling updates inside Croatia. It is also useful if you need to verify whether an item is ready for pickup or if additional action is required.
Tracking messages show what stage your shipment has reached. Some wording may vary by service, destination, or handover partner, but these are common meanings you may see while tracking a parcel or mail item.
| Tracking status | Description |
|---|---|
| Posted | The shipment has been accepted by the postal operator and entered into the tracking system. |
| In transit | The item is moving through the delivery network between facilities or transport stages. |
| Arrived at sorting center | The shipment has reached a processing facility for sorting and onward dispatch. |
| Arrival at inward office of exchange | The shipment has reached the destination country and is entering the local postal network. |
| Held in customs | The shipment is under customs control and may require inspection, tax assessment, or supporting documents. |
| Out for delivery | The item has left the local delivery unit and is on the way to the recipient. |
| Delivered | The shipment has been delivered or made available according to the service used. |
Your tracking number is usually provided by the sender, online store, marketplace, or post office receipt. If you are the sender, you can find it on the acceptance receipt. If you are the recipient, check the shipping confirmation email, seller account page, or order history. If you are not sure whether you have the right code, it helps to understand the difference between a tracking number and an order number.
Tracked postal items commonly follow the UPU S10 format. This usually means two letters, followed by nine digits, and ending with the country code HR. A common example looks like this: RR123456789HR.
This format is often used for registered and international postal items. If your number does not match this format, it may still be valid for another shipping service, marketplace, or courier partner.
Tracking does not always update in real time. A shipment may show no movement for a while if it is waiting for the first scan, travelling between facilities, crossing borders, or going through customs control. Items arriving from outside the European Union can also take longer because they may be subject to customs inspection, VAT handling, and additional processing.
If your item was only recently posted, wait for the first acceptance scan to appear. If the tracking number still shows no result after a reasonable period, double-check the number and contact support. You can also review common reasons why a parcel cannot be found.
Domestic shipments within Croatia usually show local handling events from acceptance through delivery. International shipments can involve more stages, including export processing, airline or road transport, inward office of exchange scans, customs control, and handover to the destination delivery network.
In cross-border cases, the same shipment can be scanned by more than one operator. That is why a universal tracking tool may show a broader view of the route than a single postal website.
For standard domestic parcels, Hrvatska Pošta states a general delivery target of up to three working days. Delivery speed can still vary depending on the service used, the destination, weekends, public holidays, traffic disruptions, or force majeure.
International delivery times are less predictable because they depend on destination country processing, available transport routes, customs checks, and partner operators. If you are waiting for a shipment from abroad, the current tracking status is usually the best indicator of its next step.
If you need help with a missing update, delivery attempt, customs-related question, or pickup issue, you can contact Hrvatska Pošta customer service directly.

The official Hrvatska Pošta website is best when you want operator-specific updates inside Croatia, including local delivery handling and pickup-related information. Ship24 is useful when the shipment moves across borders and passes between multiple carriers.
Ship24 gives you one place to check shipments that move between different countries and carriers. That makes it easier to follow international parcels without switching between several tracking pages.
For businesses, Ship24 also offers a shipment tracking API that can be used to collect tracking updates across multiple carriers in one system.
Hrvatska Pošta is the national postal operator in Croatia. It runs a nationwide network of post offices and delivery services, supports domestic and international postal traffic, and continues to expand digital and logistics services. The company also operates Paket24, which is its fast parcel delivery service.
No. In most cases, you need the item number to search for a shipment. If you do not have it, ask the sender, seller, or marketplace for the tracking details.
Standard delivery is generally tied to working-day operations. However, Paket24 includes Saturday pickup and delivery options for eligible services and locations, so some shipments may be handled on Saturdays.
If a shipment is under customs control, tracking may pause until inspection or tax processing is completed. This is more common for goods arriving from outside the European Union. In some cases, the recipient may need to provide documents or complete payment before delivery can continue.
The next step depends on the service used and the delivery method. The shipment may be taken to a post office, redirected to a pickup point, or held for collection. Check the latest tracking event or contact support for the exact pickup instructions.
The best way is to follow the latest tracking event and look for statuses such as out for delivery, available for pickup, or customs processing. You can also review general guidance on when a package is arriving if the shipment is still in transit.
