Full Details

Posting a phone to Czech Republic is permitted; two frameworks apply. Postal dangerous-goods rules require lithium batteries to be installed in the device (UN 3481) — loose spare batteries are barred from international mail. On the customs side Customs Administration of the Czech Republic applies the ordinary parcel framework to the declared value: import VAT/GST at 21% applies above the exemption threshold. 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. Multiple new-in-box units read as commercial imports; single used personal phones (a repaired or forgotten device sent on) are routine.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Ship the battery installed in the phone, declare the true value, and use tracked service — phones are among the most-pilfered and most-inspected parcel categories.
