CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Before sending goods to the Czech Republic, make sure you understand the nation’s import regulations, as well as the additional rules imposed by the European Union. Shipping to the Czech Republic has become slightly more complicated post-Brexit, with extra checks, tariffs, and regulations.

Parcels entering the Czech Republic from the UK are now subject to additional customs and duty fees, which are charged to the recipient. UK-based senders need to submit a commercial invoice to ship products. This helps customs officials determine whether imported items should be subject to import duties and, if so, how much they need to charge.

Find out how Brexit affects your shipping plans and costs on our dedicated page. At PACK & SEND, we’re here to help you find the right packing and shipping solution for your package.

Some packages may be exempt from customs charges, like personal effects and items intended as gifts, provided they meet the EU’s unique import regulations. 

Make sure your package qualifies for any  Customs Duty and VAT-free allowance by following the shipping instructions issued by the Czech customs authorities.

Make sure you:

  • Fill in the paperwork correctly
  • Avoid sending prohibited or restricted items
  • Provide detailed information on your items – for example, instead of just saying ‘clothes’, state ‘2 x men’s cotton shirts, made in Ireland’
  • Send your items with all the correct licences and certificates

At PACK & SEND, we know what it takes to meet the import criteria of the Czech Republic, and we work closely with our customers to make sure their shipments are fully compliant.

SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC

On top of each nation’s unique import regulations, the EU adds an extra challenge with additional red tape to navigate.

Take time to understand exactly what items can be imported, in what quantities, and which items are prohibited. Always check restricted items and size or quantity allowances before sending, as prohibited items may be destroyed or returned to you at a charge.

For example:

  • Alcohol spirits
  • Meat, milk, and dairy products are heavily restricted unless originating from approved EU countries.
  • Most weapons and firearms are prohibited.

If you’re unsure whether your items are permitted, check the regulations set out on the Czech customs authority’s website. The official portal provides detailed and up-to-date guidance on import regulations, restricted goods, and prohibited items.

ADDRESSING PARCELS TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Every nation has its own unique rules for formatting addresses.

When shipping to the Czech Republic, the recipient’s name should be on the first line, followed by the street address or PO Box. On the next line, include the postcode and town or city. Finally, write THE CZECH REPUBLIC on the last line.

For example:
Jan Novák
Ulice Na Příkopě 28
110 00 Praha 1
THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Include your return address on the opposite side of the package to the delivery address.
