The Ministry of Foreign Trade provides, pursuant to § 1 of Act No. 119 / 1948 Coll., on the State Organisation of Foreign Trade and International Postal Service, and § 5 (1) of Customs Act No. 36 / 1953 Coll.:
Commercial imports by foreign trade undertakings
On importation of goods to which foreign trade undertakings are authorised, those undertakings shall proceed in accordance with specific rules. *)
Other imports
(1) Imports of gifts in kind and other goods for which reimbursement is not granted abroad are permissible if the quantity and value of the items is appropriate to the need of the importer (s) and members of his family residing with him in the common household and provided that the items serve exclusively their needs.
(2) To import goods for which:
(a) the value exceeds 3000 CZK; or
(b) it is a consignment with a value not exceeding 3000 CZK but a fourth or further consignment for the same consignee in the same calendar year;
the import authorisation granted taking into account the provisions of the preceding paragraph by the customs office (customs turnover) concerned is required.
If the conditions and assumptions under which the import authorisation was granted change in such a way that they would no longer comply with the conditions and conditions laid down in this Order, the authority which granted the authorisation shall decide whether the authorisation is valid even in the new circumstances. If the conditions and assumptions are to be changed by negotiation of the importer (s), the importer (s) shall be obliged to inform the customs office (s) which has dealt with the matter.
(1) The decision to grant an import authorisation is for customs and customs turnovers who are entitled to discuss matters for free circulation in the country under customs legislation. * *)
(2) Authorisations for imports of motor vehicles of all kinds are granted only by customs at the premises of the regional national committees.
(1) As a general rule, the written import authorisation is replaced by a decision to release the imported goods for free circulation in the country under customs legislation.
(2) The Ministry of Foreign Trade - Central Customs Administration - may determine in which cases imports may take place solely on the basis of a pre-granted import authorisation.
(3) There is no legal entitlement to import authorisations.
(1) Imports of goods are inadmissible, irrespective of their price
(a) quantities which are not likely to meet the appropriate needs of the importer (s) and members of his family who live together; as regards items imported in gift consignments, the limits of the maximum quantity referred to in Annex 1 shall apply to some of their species;
(b) alcohol,
(c) postage stamps and stationery, in so far as the exceptions listed in Annex 2 under points 8 and 9,

(f) a consignment for which it is clear from the circumstances that it has been drawn up and dispatched by an undertaking engaged in the provision of such an activity after a commercial enterprise;
(g) a consignment containing used clothing, linen, footwear and other clothing items.
(2) Cases or consignments the importation of which is inadmissible pursuant to the preceding paragraph will not be released for free circulation in the domestic territory by customs (customs digression) under customs legislation. This customs (customs) measure shall not prevent the application of rules on the prosecution of criminal offences or offences.
(3) Exemptions from the prohibition and restrictions referred to in paragraph 1 (a), (f) and (g) may be authorised by the customs administration.
The import authorisation may, for exceptional reasons, be replaced by a specific dimension of the Ministry of Foreign Trade - Central Customs Administration.
Imports of goods or goods not covered by the provisions of Sections 1 to 7 and 12 of this Decree shall be prohibited without the authorisation of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
Common and final provisions
The price applicable within the meaning of this Decree shall be the domestic retail price of the same or similar thing; If not fixed, the customs office (customs departure) shall determine the price, according to its experience or to the cargo of the importer (consignee), according to the expert's opinion (for mail, the costs of the expert's opinion shall be borne by the addressee if the consignment is accepted).
Where there is a need for a certificate or authorisation to import certain items under other rules (e.g. health, veterinary, etc.), such certificate or authorisation must be presented to customs before the goods are released for free circulation in the country.
This decree does not apply to imports of precious metals, precious stones, pearls and their products, which are regulated by foreign exchange regulations. *)
