Exporting to Czech Republic after EU Exit if there's no deal

Guidance explaining changes for UK exporters to the Czech Republic if we leave the EU with no deal.

From:
Department for International Trade

Leaving the EU with a deal remains the UK government’s top priority. This has not changed. However, the government is continuing with no deal preparations to ensure the country is prepared for every eventuality.

Trade agreement

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the UK will not have a Free Trade Agreement with the EU or any individual member countries, including the Czech Republic.

Tariffs and quotas

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the EU’s Most Favoured Nation terms will apply to exports to the EU.

Check the Czech Republic’s import tariffs and quotas under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.

Exporting goods

You may need to use the same processes for exporting to EU countries that apply when exporting to the rest of the world.

See the preparation checklist for exporting goods to the EU.

Controlled goods

The export licensing regulations for controlled goods will be affected.

Controlled goods include:

  • military items
  • dual-use items (items with both civil and military uses)
  • firearms

Find out how export licensing for controlled goods will change.

Professional services

If you are providing services in the Czech Republic you will need to be aware of rules regarding:

  • cross-border trade
  • establishing and structuring your business
  • business travel and visa requirements
  • recognition of professional qualifications
  • data protection

Find guidance on providing professional services in the Czech Republic.

Travel

The rules for travel to most countries in Europe will change if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

If your adult passport was issued over 9 years ago, you may be affected.

Check your passport is still valid with our tool before booking travel.

Check travel advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).

Sanctions and embargoes

Exports of certain categories of product to some countries are subject to embargoes or sanctions.
