Czechia is in the EU customs union, so imports from outside the EU follow the Union Customs Code and the common external tariff. A business trading with non-EU countries needs an EORI number, issued by the Customs Administration, which also handles import procedures and excise duties. Goods moving within the EU need no customs declaration, but intra-EU supplies still go into the VAT return and the EC Sales List. Exports of dual-use goods need a licence from the Licensing Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
