General Import Clearance Information

Clearance Process
Working with Customs officials throughout the world, FedEx has developed innovative technology to eliminate many steps of the paperwork-handling process and expedite the movement of international shipments. Starting at the origin location, state-of-the-art technology allows the processing of shipment paperwork and electronic transmission of documents to the designated FedEx hub and destination clearance location. The Express clear system also keeps a database of regulatory information, which includes; importers' numbers, broker designations, corporate contact names and telephone numbers. At a FedEx hub, international shipments are sorted, scanned and loaded onto an international flight. Vital shipment information is keyed into a worldwide manifest database, which is linked to computer systems operated by brokers and Customs officials in many countries. Even before the plane has taken off, or while it is in the air, Customs agents and brokers at the destination airport of entry can begin examining shipping manifests, querying air waybill data if they need more details, assessing duties and taxes and selecting the shipments they wish to examine. By the time the plane arrives at its destination, many packages have already been cleared by Customs. As the plane is unloaded, the Express clear system identifies packages to be examined and prints "cleared" Customs labels for all others. Cleared shipments are transferred to trucks for immediate delivery. International shipments are scanned at all key points throughout the process, and this allows for up-to-date status reports including when Customs clearance is obtained.

All goods categorized, as non-document commercial goods shipped to Czech Republic must have a proper value declared and proper description provided which should convey the shipper's intent related to the goods as well as any special processing requirements that exist for the goods shipped. Everything has a value, whether or not a transaction took place. Failure to properly document value of any goods will result in delays and or additional fees as deemed necessary in addition to warehouse fees.

The Czech Republic has petitioned to become a member of the European Union and is currently basing duty rates on such measures. Czech Republic bases its Harmonized Tariff Schedule (Nomenclature) on the TARIC (Integrated Tariff of the European Community) which is issued by the Commission and the Member States for the purpose of applying Community measures relating to import and exports, and-when necessary- to trade between member sates. The TARIC also serves as a basis for the working tariffs and tariff file of The Czech Republic and other Member States.

Czech customs values shipments at C.I.F (Cost-Insurance-Freight) prices. Shipments consigned via FedEx should have the following on the commercial invoice: CIF PRAGUE. Import duty rates are divided into two classifications: Most Favored Nation (MFN) and General. Import duties are calculated on ad valorem basis, i.e. expressed as a percentage of the value of the imported goods.

There are three primary entry types for importing into The Czech Republic:

Standard Clearance Procedure
Simplified Clearance Procedure
Simplified Declaration Procedure

Standard clearance procedure - All shipments follow this procedure regardless of value. Barring any problems or need for clarification the shipments are normally released without further examination from Customs.

Sanitary Certificates - Animal and Plant Health Inspections certificates are required from the importing country for the importation of living plant material, including plants, plant products and seeds, into the Czech Republic. Health inspection requirements also govern the importation of animals and parts of animals, including meat products, skins, hides and similar products, marine mammals, fish, crustaceans, or mollusks and parts thereof. Most of these certificates are obtained by providing the proper documentation to the Ministerstvo Zemedelstvi (Ministry of Health at http://www.mze.cz/

Declaration of Antiquity - A declaration must be shown on the invoice for goods over 100 years old. The statement must include the words " circa date" followed by the year of manufacture whether known or estimated.

Free Trade Zones/Warehouses

There are 11 free trade zones established in several cities throughout the Czech Republic. Materials, components and semi-finished products are exempted from customs duties or VAT if they are exported into a free trade zone. If the goods are then used in the manufacturing or processing of a final product that is then re-exported, it is also exempted from duties or VAT. Duties and VAT are applied on the declared value of the goods if they are cleared for free circulation within the Czech Republic.

Customs Valuation
The Czech Republic adheres to WTO rules on customs valuation and therefore applies the same rules of customs valuation used by other member nations. Customs valuation is based on information provided by the exporter on the commercial invoice. Duties and taxes are levied on an ad valorem basis, that is, on the basis of the declared value of the goods sold.

Import Duties
The Czech Republic has petitioned to become a member of the European Union and is currently basing duty rates on such measures. Czech Republic bases its Harmonized Tariff Schedule (Nomenclature) on the TARIC (Integrated Tariff of the European Community) which is issued by the Commission and the Member States for the purpose of applying Community measures relating to import and exports, and-when necessary- to trade between member sates. The TARIC also serves as a basis for the working tariffs and tariff file of The Czech Republic and other Member States.

The Czech Republic system of duties imposed on imports is highly transparent and stable. Since export duty is not imposed on any kind of goods, the tariff system includes only import duties assessed in dependence on the kind of goods and the country of origin.

Antidumping
Under strict enforcement of unfair trade laws, Customs will assess antidumping duties or countervailing duties. Antidumping duties are assessed on imported merchandise sold in The Czech Republic (EU) at less than the normal price of goods in the manufacturer's home market (also called fair market value).

Excise Duties
Excise Tax
Excise taxes are imposed on the following goods produced or imported into the Czech Republic:
Fuels and lubricants, tobacco products, beer, wine and liquor. The rate is determined by the type and quantity of the product and must be paid within ten (10) days after being notified by the Customs Office of the tax amount due.
In the importation and exportation of goods the customs bodies also apply a number of other legal regulations and along with the duty they also assess and collect the value added tax and the excise tax. This concerns particularly the following legal regulations:
Act No. 16/1993 Coll. on road tax, in the reading of the later regulations
Act No. 588/1992 Coll., on VAT tax, in the reading of the later regulations
Act No. 587/1993 Coll. on excise tax, in the reading of the later regulations
Act No. 303/1993 Coll. on canceling the state tobacco monopoly and on measures connected with it, in the reading of the later regulations

Additional Duties
All goods categorized, as non-document commercial goods shipped to Czech Republic must have a proper value declared and proper description provided which should convey the shipper's intent related to the goods as well as any special processing requirements that exist for the goods shipped. Everything has a value, whether or not a transaction took place.

Since export duty is not imposed on any kind of goods, the tariff system includes only import duties assessed in dependence on the kind of goods and the country of origin. In addition to customs tariffs, imported goods are liable to taxes (value added tax, and excise tax on some kinds of goods). In harmony with the Czech Republic's international obligations, identical rates of these taxes apply to both domestic and imported goods.

Imported goods are not legally entered until the shipment has been released by Czech Customs. Czech Customs may pull any shipment at any time for review or investigation, which could result in clearance/delivery delays. NOTE: In addition to the Customs Department, importers should contact other agencies when questions regarding particular commodities arise. For example, questions about Licensable products should be forwarded to the Ministry of Industry and Trade for import license requirements. http://www.mpo.cz
The average conventional rates of duty are given in the following table:

Trade average rates of duty Global (%) Agricultural products (%) Other products (%)
before Uruguay Round*) 5.9 13.1 5.3
after Uruguay Round*) 4.5 9.3 4.1
A commercial invoice is required for all shipments (except documents) with no exceptions. All shipments including documents must have a declared value into Czech Republic. NCV (No Commercial value) is not acceptable for clearance in Czech Republic.

EXCEPTIONS:

A foreign person or entity, i.e. a person domiciled or an entity having their registered address abroad, may submit a customs declaration on goods to be released for transit or temporary admission, provided that the customs office regards it as acceptable. Under the conditions mentioned above a declarant may be anybody who, in compliance with the customs regulations, is able to present the goods - to which the customs regulations are applicable - to the respective customs office, or who secures their presentation, together with all documents as stipulated by the customs regulations that regulate the regime in which the given goods are proposed. As in other administrative procedures, a declarant does not have to act in person but may appoint a representative. Such representation may be direct, if the agent acts in the name and on behalf of the represented person, or indirect, if the representative acts in his own name and on behalf of the represented person. The representative must declare his acting on behalf of the represented person and specify whether such representation is direct or indirect. A person who does not declare his acting in the name or on behalf of another person, or declares to be acting in the name or on behalf of another person without authorization is considered as a person acting in his own name or on his own behalf.

Items such laptops watches PC's, cameras, tape recorders, Camcorders, video players, CD and DVD players or other articles that may be uniquely identifiable by serial number or permanently affixed marking, should be documented on owner declaration at the Customs Office at the port of exit, at the time of export or when physically carried abroad. This declaration will expedite free entry of these items upon return. The declaration is valid for any future trips as long as the information on it remains legible. Registration must be made in person.

All return shipments will be treated similar to the process of inbound clearance. Re-export declarations must be completed and an import license obtained if required by Customs regulations. A power of Attorney and a letter sent to the Czech Customs requesting return of the shipment is required.

Customs requires a Power of Attorney from the consignee in order for FedEx to clear shipments.
Rules of origin, most frequently based on the nomenclature criteria, apply to all other cases where several countries share the manufacturing of a product. The criteria are based on the classification of goods according to the Combined Nomenclature. The often used term of acknowledging origin, the change of a tariff heading rule, can be expressed as follows: a product is original when it is classified under a four-figure number of the Nomenclature other than all non-original materials and components used for its manufacture. This basic term, however, does not suit the determination of origin in all cases. This is why in some cases it is replaced with a detailed description of the working or processing of non-original materials, which is essential for the determination of origin. Specific terms applying to all products are clearly listed in Supplement II of every protocol on the origin of goods.

Customs Fees
A duty and tax advancement fee of approximately 2% of the value for customs will be applied to the consignee on all dutiable shipments valued over 38.9916 EUR. Czech Customs reserves the right to inspect both import and export shipments.

Exchange Controls
There are no exchange controls

Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT's)
Technical barriers or non-tariff barriers to trade as they are sometimes known, can cause many problems for exporters looking for new markets for their products. These barriers can be in the form of regulations, standards, testing and certification procedures. The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade tries to ensure that these barriers do not create unnecessary obstacles. To obtain further information on Technical Barriers to Trade as well as Notifications on technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures, go to the WTO website at http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/tbt_e/tbt_e.htm.

Labels and other documentation are required to be in the Czech Language. Very few documents or forms will be acceptable in another language.



Consular Fees
There are no consular requirements for Czech republic.

Value added tax (VAT)
The value-added tax (VAT) applies to all goods, both domestic and foreign, sold within the Czech Republic. The VAT rate is generally 22 percent, although a lower VAT of 5 percent is charged for selected goods, such as food and pharmaceuticals.

Import Licenses
The Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade issues import licenses to those seeking to import selected goods into the Czech Republic. While most products and services are exempt from the licensing process, oil, natural gas, pyrotechnical products, sporting guns and ammunition require a license.

Countervailing
Countervailing duties are assessed to counter the effects of subsidies provided by a foreign government for merchandise exported to Czech Republic resulting in artificially low prices that are detrimental to Czech Republic and other European Union member states industries.

Invoice Fee
Customs in some situations will assess additional fees based on the invoices provided for a shipment. The fee is usually levied if they deem them necessary as part of the terms of entry due to the size of the shipment and the related large number of invoices provided by the shipper for his goods.

Inspection
There are no pre-inspection requirements into Czech Republic

Temporary Entry

Temporary exemptions from duty are allowed for certain items, such as merchandise samples and items for display at trade shows or exhibitions. The Czech Republic also accepts ATA carnets as a way of facilitating temporary admission through customs. For more information about obtaining a carnet for clearance of goods, samples or equipment intended for temporary entry only please contact the Ministry of Industry and Trade. http://www.mpo.cz.

Articles consigned for temporary import traveling under Carnets, goods for display, goods for demonstration, goods for exhibition, goods for repair, goods for incorporation into other articles and goods imported for further processing and re-export are not acceptable for importation into Czech Republic via FedEx IP Service. These articles require special processing and customs clearance, which are not handled under the express carrier operation commitments. Clearance delays could be experienced on entries lodged for these types of shipments.

Humanitarian Aid
Shipments for humanitarian aid require the recipient to be registered with the government as a Humanitarian organization and possess all required permissions, licenses, and documentation for each shipment.

The law is compatible with legal regulations applied in Western countries. It provides for effective control of exports and facilitates imports of these goods to the Czech Republic. The new law stresses the responsibility of exporters themselves for the reliability of their exports of sensitive kinds of goods, i.e. for preventing their abuse for the production of weapons of mass destruction. The law also emphasizes verification of the real final use of exported goods under control, and provides for the application of the exports control principle set by international control agreements and intended to prevent deliveries of goods and technologies to territories where they might be abused for military purposes. The law also creates a legal framework simplifying licensing procedures. Besides the procedure conducted individually prior to every transaction, the open individual or general licenses are allowed to be proceeded in justified cases.

Military Shipments
Act No. 38/1994 Coll. governs the control system applied to military equipment on foreign trade in military equipment and by amendments to Act No. 455/1991 Coll. on commercial activity (Trade Law) in the wording of subsequent regulations and Act No. 140/1961 Coll. (Penal Code), in the wording of subsequent regulations. Decree No. 89/1994 Coll. was issued for its implementation. This Decree contains a list of military equipment that is all but identical with the existing international list.

Diplomatic shipments
Must be transferred to a special non-FedEx Customs post for clearance. Delays and additional charges by Czech Customs may occur. U.S. companies are required to include a commercial invoice a bill of lading and a shipper's export declaration (needed for items requiring an export license or valued above 2.767.33 EUR) when exporting to the Czech Republic. In addition, the importer must issue a declaration of conformity for each product introduced to the market. Czech law specifies products that need to be certified by an accredited person before the declaration can be issued. Depending on the nature of the goods, a veterinary health certificate and/or a certificate of origin (for concessionaire customs rates, if applicable) can also be required.

Shipments sent by legal entities (companies, organizations, etc.) with a declared value of less than 100 Euro, whose contents do not require any additional permission or certification do not require an export declaration, but it must be accompanied by the shipping documents such as waybill and a commercial invoice.

Shipments by legal entities (companies, organizations, etc.) with a declared value of 100 Euro or above must have an Export declaration.

Czech Republic Import Prohibitions

The importation of certain classes of merchandise may be prohibited or restricted to protect the economy and security of Czech Republic and other EU member states, to safeguard consumer health, well being, and to preserve domestic plant and animal life. Some commodities are also subject to an import quota or a restraint under bilateral trade agreements and arrangements. In addition to Customs requirements, many prohibited or restricted imports are subject to laws and regulations administered by other EU Government agencies for which the Czech Customs Department is the enforcer.

Samples
Samples are acceptable to Czech Republic and will be exempt for all Duty and VAT provided that they meet the following criteria:

The shipper's documents, preferably the commercial invoice provided should state that the article(s) is a mutilated sample- not for resale or other use. A certificate of origin will not be required for import; only a standard airway bill or bill of lading and commercial invoice will be needed.

Standards

The Czech Republic has begun accession negotiations with the European Union and as such is in the process of harmonizing its standards based on European and international norms. In this regard, the ISO 9000 series of standards are being used increasingly in the Czech Republic as evidence of high product quality. Domestically, the "Czech Made" mark is the award give to products, which are judged to be of outstanding quality, environmentally friendly and favorable to energy consumption. A product that meets the standards and certification requirements of any other EU country can be imported and sold in Czech without further testing.
Labeling and marking requirements for products depend on the type of product and the intended use. In general, however, labels must be in the Czech language and can be affixed to the product or on a leaflet attached to the product.
