Your U.S. immigration status decides the customs treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Before you think about crates and containers, understand this: U.S. customs does not tax &quot;a move&quot; \u2014 it applies exemptions based on <strong>who is arriving and in what capacity<\/strong>. Your visa category, issued under the U.S. immigration system (<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/us-visas.html\">travel.state.gov<\/a>), determines which exemption in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-19\/chapter-I\/part-148\">19 CFR Part 148<\/a> applies.<\/p>\n<p>The most useful exemption for a household move is subheading <strong>9804.00.05<\/strong>, which covers furniture, books, tableware and &quot;other usual household furnishings and effects&quot; that were <strong>actually used abroad for not less than one year<\/strong> and are not for sale or for another person (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-19\/chapter-I\/part-148\/subpart-F\/section-148.52\">19 CFR 148.52<\/a>). Crucially, the year of use &quot;need not be continuous, nor need it immediately precede the time of importation.&quot; Returning U.S. residents get their own set of exemptions under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-19\/chapter-I\/part-148\/subpart-D\">Subpart D<\/a>. Because the rules differ for returning residents, arriving immigrants and non-residents, confirm your category with CBP before shipping \u2014 the same sofa is treated differently depending on your status.<\/p>\n<h2>2. The Czech export side: authority, declaration, de-registration and tax<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The customs authority.<\/strong> Exports from the Czech Republic are handled by the <strong>Celn\u00ed spr\u00e1va \u010cesk\u00e9 republiky<\/strong> (Customs Administration of the Czech Republic). Under the export regime (&quot;v\u00fdvoz&quot;), Union goods are released to leave the EU customs territory on the condition that they exit in the same state (<a href=\"https:\/\/celnisprava.gov.cz\/cz\/clo\/celni-rizeni\/vyvoz\/Stranky\/default.aspx\">Celn\u00ed spr\u00e1va \u2013 v\u00fdvoz<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The declaration system.<\/strong> Since 1 July 2009 export declarations must be submitted <strong>electronically<\/strong>, and the Czech Republic uses the <strong>AES (Automated Export System) \/ e-V\u00fdvoz<\/strong> platform, modernised in October 2023 (<a href=\"https:\/\/celnisprava.gov.cz\/cz\/clo\/e-customs\/ecs\/stranky\/default.aspx\">AES\/ECS e-V\u00fdvoz<\/a>). All goods leaving the EU also require security data, submitted either in the declaration or a separate exit summary declaration. In practice your international mover or a customs broker files this declaration on your behalf; a household shipment of used personal effects is low-risk cargo, but the electronic declaration and exit confirmation are still what release the goods from the EU. There is no personal &quot;opt-out&quot; from the electronic system for commercial-carrier shipments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ending permanent residence.<\/strong> A Czech citizen can formally <strong>terminate permanent residence in the Czech Republic<\/strong> (&quot;ukon\u010den\u00ed trval\u00e9ho pobytu&quot;) by notifying the registration office (ohla\u0161ovna) at their place of residence, or a Czech embassy abroad, under Act No. 133\/2000 Sb. on population registration (<a href=\"https:\/\/mv.gov.cz\/clanek\/ukonceni-trvaleho-pobytu.aspx\">Ministerstvo vnitra<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.gov.cz\/sluzby-vs\/ukonceni-trvaleho-pobytu-S620\">portal.gov.cz<\/a>). The notice needs a certified signature (or recognised electronic signature); the administrative fee is CZK 100 at the ohla\u0161ovna, or CZK 600 through an embassy. Residence ends on the day the notice reaches the office (or a later date you specify), and \u2014 importantly \u2014 ending it does <strong>not<\/strong> affect your Czech citizenship or passport. This step is optional but affects local registrations, health insurance and correspondence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax residency exit.<\/strong> Do not leave without settling your tax position. Under Czech law you are a tax resident if you have a permanent home in the Czech Republic (with intent to stay) or are present at least <strong>183 days<\/strong> in the year, and residents are taxed on worldwide income (<a href=\"https:\/\/app.fs.gov.cz\/dotazy-verejnosti\/dotaz\/zmena-danove-rezidence-3144\">Finan\u010dn\u00ed spr\u00e1va<\/a>). Tax residency is assessed per tax period, so it can change when you move. If you become resident in both countries, the tie-breaker rules of the Czech\u2013U.S. double-taxation treaty decide. Notify your tax office and keep evidence of the move (U.S. employment contract, lease, residence documents) \u2014 the change is proven by facts, not by a single form.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Ports and transit times<\/h2>\n<p>The Czech Republic is <strong>landlocked<\/strong>, so ocean freight never leaves from a Czech &quot;sea port.&quot; Historically the country holds leased harbour lots at the <strong>Port of Hamburg<\/strong> (the Moldauhafen, on a 99-year lease granted in 1929 that expires in 2028), reached via the Vltava\/Elbe rivers (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Moldauhafen\">Moldauhafen<\/a>). In practice, modern container exports are trucked or railed from Czech cities to large North Sea gateways \u2014 <strong>Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam or Antwerp<\/strong> \u2014 for the Atlantic crossing. Air freight and air-accompanied moves depart from <strong>V\u00e1clav Havel Airport Prague<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transit times (freight-industry estimates, not official figures).<\/strong> As rough planning numbers only: ocean freight from a North Sea port to the U.S. East Coast is often quoted at around <strong>2\u20134 weeks<\/strong> of sailing time, and to the U.S. West Coast longer; total door-to-door time including inland haulage from the Czech Republic, consolidation, sailing, U.S. customs clearance and final delivery is commonly <strong>6\u201310+ weeks<\/strong>. Air freight is far quicker but far costlier. Treat every duration here as an operational estimate that varies with season, port congestion and routing \u2014 no government body guarantees transit times.<\/p>\n<h2>4. The U.S. import side: the form and the process<\/h2>\n<p>Because your household goods usually arrive <strong>without you<\/strong> (by sea or air cargo), they are &quot;unaccompanied articles.&quot; The controlling document is <strong>CBP Form 3299, Declaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles<\/strong>, provided for by 19 CFR 148.6, 148.52, 148.53 and 148.77 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/document\/forms\/form-3299-declaration-free-entry-unaccompanied-articles\">CBP Form 3299<\/a>). On it you tell CBP what is arriving and why it qualifies for duty-free entry.<\/p>\n<p>The process in outline: your goods arrive at a U.S. port of entry; a customs broker (usually arranged by your mover&#8217;s U.S. partner) files the entry with <strong>CBP Form 3299<\/strong>, your passport\/visa, a packing list\/inventory, and the bill of lading. Effects that qualify as used household goods under 9804.00.05 enter free of duty (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-19\/chapter-I\/part-148\/subpart-F\/section-148.52\">19 CFR 148.52<\/a>). New items (bought within the last year), alcohol, and commercial quantities are treated differently and may attract duty. Keep an honest, detailed inventory: CBP can examine any shipment, and misdeclaration is the fastest way to delay and penalty.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Pets<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Leaving the Czech Republic.<\/strong> For pets travelling from the Czech Republic to a third country, the export documents are confirmed by an official veterinarian of the competent Regional Veterinary Administration of the <strong>St\u00e1tn\u00ed veterin\u00e1rn\u00ed spr\u00e1va<\/strong> (State Veterinary Administration), typically after a clinical exam by your private vet (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.svscr.cz\/cestovani-se-zviraty-v-zajmovem-chovu\/ii-cestovani-se-zviraty-v-zajmovem-chovu-z-ceske-republiky-do-tretich-zemi\/\">SVS \u2013 travel to third countries<\/a>). For the USA specifically, that SVS page directs owners to the requirements of the U.S. authorities \u2014 <strong>USDA (APHIS) and CDC<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.svscr.cz\/cestovani-se-zviraty-v-zajmovem-chovu\/ii-cestovani-se-zviraty-v-zajmovem-chovu-z-ceske-republiky-do-tretich-zemi\/\">SVS \u2013 travel to third countries<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Entering the USA (dogs).<\/strong> Since 1 August 2024 the CDC requires <strong>every dog<\/strong> to have a completed <strong>CDC Dog Import Form<\/strong> filed before arrival, to be <strong>at least 6 months old<\/strong>, and to have a scannable <strong>microchip<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/importation\/dogs\/index.html\">CDC \u2013 Bringing a Dog into the U.S.<\/a>). The good news: the Czech Republic is classified by CDC as a <strong>dog-rabies-free \/ low-risk<\/strong> country, so for a dog that has only been in such countries in the past 6 months, the <strong>CDC Dog Import Form is the only required document<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/importation\/dogs\/rabies-free-low-risk-countries.html\">CDC \u2013 dogs from rabies-free\/low-risk countries<\/a>). Always re-check the current CDC country list and form instructions close to travel, as classifications and airline rules change.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Vehicles, money, and things people forget<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Vehicles.<\/strong> Importing your Czech car is rarely worth it. Every vehicle must meet U.S. <strong>EPA emission standards<\/strong> (the Clean Air Act bars non-conforming vehicles\/engines) and, if under 25 years old, all applicable <strong>DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards<\/strong>, declared on form <strong>HS-7<\/strong> (with EPA form <strong>3520-1<\/strong> for emissions) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/trade\/basic-import-export\/importing-car\">CBP \u2013 Importing a Motor Vehicle<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/importing-vehicles-and-engines\/learn-about-importing-vehicles-and-engines\">EPA<\/a>). A car built to EU specs usually lacks the U.S. certification label and must enter as a non-conforming vehicle \u2014 modified, tested and certified by an Independent Commercial Importer, with a DOT Registered Importer and bond. The cost often exceeds the car&#8217;s value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Money.<\/strong> There is no limit on how much cash you may carry, but you <strong>must report<\/strong> any amount <strong>over USD 10,000<\/strong> (or foreign-currency equivalent) carried, mailed or shipped into or out of the U.S., using <strong>FinCEN Form 105<\/strong> under the Bank Secrecy Act; failure to report can mean seizure and criminal charges (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/travel\/international-visitors\/money-monetary-instruments\">CBP \u2013 Money<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fincen.gov\/system\/files\/shared\/fin105_cmir.pdf\">FinCEN Form 105<\/a>). Separately, the Czech Republic requires cash of EUR 10,000+ to be declared when crossing the EU external border (<a href=\"https:\/\/celnisprava.gov.cz\/cz\/dalsi-kompetence\/cash_controls\/Stranky\/default.aspx\">Celn\u00ed spr\u00e1va \u2013 Kontrola hotovosti<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Often forgotten:<\/strong> alcohol and tobacco (dutiable, quantity-limited, and excluded from personal-effects exemptions), firearms and certain foods\/plants (restricted by U.S. agencies), medicines with documentation, and prohibited\/restricted items. Keep a certified inventory, and carry key documents (passport, visa, pet form, 3299) as hand luggage.<\/p>\n<h2>How Flyto handles your Czech Republic \u2192 USA move<\/h2>\n<p>Flyto runs strong <strong>in-house European operations<\/strong> \u2014 our own offices, warehouses, teams and vehicles across Northern, Central and Southern Europe \u2014 which we combine with a <strong>carefully chosen network of vetted partners and subcontractors<\/strong> where it makes the move faster or better value.
