Before you leave Czech Republic

  • Your residence registration — Czech citizens can report a move abroad to the registration office; foreign residents should tell the immigration authorities they are leaving. Keep any confirmation: destination authorities may ask for it.
  • Your Czech-registered vehicle — A car leaving the Czech Republic for good is deregistered for export at the vehicle registration office. Your new country then registers it.
  • Tax, health and social insurance — Inform your tax office, health insurance company and social security administration of your departure, especially if you have worked in the Czech Republic.
  • Proof of your residence — Destination customs often ask for proof of how long you lived outside their territory: keep your lease, utility bills and employment records.
  • Contracts and subscriptions — Cancel or transfer electricity, internet, mobile and insurance contracts in good time, and keep the final bills as proof of your departure date.

Exporting your belongings from Czech Republic

To another EU country: if Czech Republic and your destination are both in the EU, your belongings travel freely. There is no export declaration and no customs clearance.

To a country outside the EU: we file the export declaration in Czech Republic on your behalf. What matters most is the import side: whether your belongings enter your new country free of duty depends on that country's rules. Each destination guide explains them.

Wherever you are going, prepare a detailed inventory of your belongings. It is required at destination for almost every move outside the EU, and it is the basis of your insurance.

Moves from the Czech Republic to the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, the United States, Canada or any other non-EU country require an export declaration, which we file before departure. Overseas containers usually travel via Hamburg or Bremerhaven.

How a move from Czech Republic works

  1. Free quote. Give us your departure address, your new home in Czech Republic and a rough volume. We send an online estimate right away and a written quote within a day.
  2. Survey and planning. We validate the volume with you, pick the transport mode and go through the customs rules that apply on this route to Czech Republic.
  3. Packing and collection. A packing crew comes to your address, prepares every item and loads the truck or the container at your door.
  4. Transport. By road across Europe, or by sea container between continents — whichever best fits your route to Czech Republic.
  5. Customs clearance (where required). We prepare the export declaration in Czech Republic and the import file for your destination (Czech export declaration for non-EU destinations).
  6. Delivery and set-up. Final-mile delivery to your door; unpacking and reassembly are added when your quote includes them.

One coordinator follows your move from Czech Republic from the first call to the final delivery.

How the price of your move from Czech Republic is calculated

Your price from Czech Republic is built from a handful of concrete variables, the same for every international mover:

  • Volume — measured in cubic metres (m³) — the main cost driver. Our online volume calculator helps you estimate it room by room.
  • Distance and route — from your origin address to your new home in Czech Republic.
  • Transport mode — groupage, your own truck, shared or full container, air for urgent small shipments.
  • Services — packing, taking furniture apart and reassembling it, crating fragile pieces, storage, island delivery.
  • Access — walk-up floors, pedestrian streets, long carries from the truck, and hoists where access is tight.
  • Customs — declaration fees and port or airport handling, when the route to Czech Republic crosses a customs border.
  • Insurance — a small percentage of the declared value — scalable to what you want covered.
