Important customs and shipping information

VAT & Duties (EU)

Additional Information

The Czech Republic (Czechia) is in the EU (VAT 21%). It adheres to EU import regulations. EU gift and duty thresholds apply (€45/€150).

Czech customs are generally efficient; however, if an invoice is missing or value unclear, they may ask the recipient for clarification. Always declare properly to avoid that. Addresses in Czechia often include a house number and orientation number (e.g. "Dlouhá 14/8"); be sure to include all parts of the address as given by the recipient. Delivery typically 5–7 days. Providing the recipient's email is useful because they may get a customs fee notice electronically—final‑mile couriers often collect duties and VAT via secure online payment links.

Prohibited items: No unusual bans beyond the typical ones.

Czech Republic is an EU member state. For complete EU shipping guidelines, prohibited items, and packaging requirements, view our EU Shipping Guide .

We do not ship alcohol, tobacco, prescription medicines, cannabis, or similar restricted goods.

Delivery & Pickup in Czech Republic (GLS)

Parcels ship via GLS's European network with final-mile by GLS Czech Republic.

Delivery pattern

  • Home delivery with signature; a household member may receive the parcel.
  • If nobody is home, GLS contacts the recipient to arrange a same-day alternative (ParcelShop, ParcelBox, or neighbour) and sends confirmation with location/neighbour details.
  • Delivery attempts: two standard attempts; GLS may make a third/final attempt per their FAQ timing.
  • If delivery fails, GLS can leave a notification card with parcel number, reason, deposit location, and contact info.

Need help with tracking or delivery?

Your Polimark tracking number works from Canada all the way through final delivery. In most cases, this is the only tracking number you'll ever need.


How local delivery tracking works (rarely needed)

Once your parcel reaches Czech Republic and is handed to GLS Czech Republic (the local final-mile carrier), a local courier tracking ID may be generated. This local ID is automatically linked to your Polimark tracking behind the scenes.

  • Most customers never need to use this local tracking ID.
  • Polimark remains your primary point of contact for tracking updates and delivery questions.

When would I need the local tracking ID?

Only in uncommon situations, for example:

  • A recipient wants to manually change a delivery date
  • A pickup point selection needs to be adjusted directly with the local carrier

If that ever happens, just contact us and we'll provide the local tracking ID for you.
