Full Details

Posting cosmetics to Czech Republic in personal quantities is permitted — registration and notification regimes govern marketing cosmetics, not personal parcels. Customs Administration of the Czech Republic applies the ordinary parcel framework to an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration: import VAT/GST at 21% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. EU EUR 22 import-VAT exemption ended; all commercial parcels into the Czech Republic attract 21% VAT regardless of value. Customs duty 0% under EUR 150; standard rate above. Aerosols and nail varnish are dangerous-goods limited quantities for air mail; bulk or repeated identical parcels are treated as unregistered commercial imports.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Keep parcels to personal quantities and declare contents specifically ('face cream', not 'gift'). Check carrier rules for aerosols and nail varnish — they are the commonly refused items in this class.
