Favorable exchange of goods between Russia and the Czech Republic
The Czech Republic has been an economic partner of the Russian Federation since the times of the USSR. Delivery of goods between these countries is carried out through aviation and road transport. Freight vehicles are most often used for transportation; air flights are ordered for express delivery. The ideal transport interchange of the Czech Republic and the developed infrastructure of trade routes in the EU provide favorable conditions for mutual trade.

Among the range of goods imported into the territory of the Russian Federation are goods that are sold not only as consumer goods (porcelain, crystal, tableware), but also branded goods - cars, transport equipment. From the Czech Republic they bring:

Customs clearance and cost of services
Transportation of cargo to the Russian Federation from the Czech Republic, as well as in the opposite direction, is accompanied by a set of customs procedures based on current legislation. This concerns the specifics of registering the transportation of goods to the territory of a third country that is not part of the EU. You will have to first prepare a full package of documents, pay a certain amount of duty based on current directives, comply with standards and certify the certification of goods imported into the Czech Republic.
When importing goods into the Czech Republic from the Russian Federation, you will have to pay an integrated tariff, which is valid in the EU for customs clearance of goods. The cost of providing transport services for the transportation of goods is affected not only by the weight and specifics of the product, but also by the dimensions, batch volumes, and route length. It is important to take into account the amount of customs duties, as well as the cost of associated services. Financial costs may increase due to the urgency of the order itself, so it is recommended to clarify all organizational issues in advance by contacting your sales representative.
