Formed in 1993 after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic has made impressive gains in a short time! The total trade in goods between the UK and the Czech Republic amounted to £11.2 billion in 2025: that’s an increase of 2.3% or £251 million in current prices. Send a parcel to the Czech Republic, and you’ll be contributing to the 3% increase in total UK exports.
The main goods shipped to the Czech Republic include beverages and tobacco, toilet and cleansing preparations, and general industrial machinery. UK consumers mainly receive cars and office machinery from the Czech Republic.
However, these figures don’t account for personal packages! Postage to the Czech Republic from the UK may also include sending gifts to family in Prague, returning an online order to Brno, or fulfilling customer deliveries to Ostrava. There’s a significant human connection between the two countries, with Czech authorities estimating that around 7,900 resident UK nationals live in Czechia. There’s also a well-established Czech community in the UK (over 50,000).
When you combine these figures with the rise of e-commerce, it’s clear to see why bilateral links are tightening. The Czech e-commerce market is currently valued at approximately $8 billion and is projected to exceed $10 billion by 2030. We can then attribute a large portion of the increased rates of parcel delivery to the Czech Republic to online consumers engaging in cross-border shopping. So, if you’re ready to send a parcel, the simplest next step is to compare services side by side.
As with any delivery, the cost of shipping to the Czech Republic depends on the weight and size of your shipment, with prices for small packages starting from as little as £8.29 plus VAT.

Yes, when you send a parcel to the Czech Republic, it must undergo formal customs clearance because the UK is no longer part of the EU. While the process is mandatory for both gifts and commercial goods, we simplify it by automatically generating commercial or pro forma invoices at the time of your booking. You can then print it off at home.
Successful shipping from the UK to the Czech Republic depends on using the correct address format. To make sure your parcel moves through the Czech postal system, arrange the details in a specific order: start with the recipient’s full name, then the street name and building number on the second line.
The third line must contain the five-digit postal code, known locally as a PSČ, with a space between the third and fourth digits, followed by the town or city. Here’s an example:
Jan Novák
Vodičkova 15
110 00 Prague 1
CZECH REPUBLIC
You can’t send a parcel to the Czech Republic containing explosives, flammables, poisons, weapons or hazardous materials, including aerosols, perfumes, nail varnish, or loose lithium batteries.
