Transatlantic shipping is carried out in two ways: by air and by sea.
Air freight is the faster option, with transit times of a few days, but it has size restrictions. Sea freight is slower, taking up to 7–8 weeks, but is more affordable. It also allows transportation of heavy and oversized cargo, making it suitable for furniture, vehicles, equipment, and similar goods.
In the Czech Republic, the import of goods from abroad is regulated by EU-wide legislation. According to current rules, the contents of shipments and their value must be declared.
Shipping from the United States to the Czech Republic is also subject to VAT, and if the value of the goods exceeds the duty-free import threshold, additional duties apply.
Shipping costs are variable and calculated individually based on the following parameters:
- shipment dimensions and weight;
- additional insurance coverage;
- transport mode.
The most economical shipping option from the USA to the Czech Republic is sea freight. However, this method takes more time—up to 8 weeks. A faster option is air freight, which typically takes several days.
On the TRT Express website, you can estimate shipping costs from the USA to the Czech Republic by entering the destination address, weight, and dimensions of the parcel in the calculator. Please note that the final price may change slightly after warehouse processing or due to carrier rate adjustments.
Restrictions vary by transport mode. For air shipping from the USA to the Czech Republic, the parcel weight must not exceed 30 kg, and the length of the longest side or the total girth must not exceed 274 cm.
Large and oversized cargo is shipped by sea. In this case, there are virtually no restrictions; even vehicles or large consignments can be transported.
During transportation, cargo undergoes multiple handling stages, increasing the risk of damage. To ensure safe delivery from the United States, parcels must be properly packed. Recommendations:
- use new boxes made of thick corrugated cardboard;
- fill voids inside with cushioning material;
- wrap fragile items in fabric or bubble wrap.
To minimize risks, you can order professional packing at our warehouse. In this case, we will select an appropriate box and pack the contents securely to ensure delivery to the Czech Republic at an optimal cost and without risk to the parcel.
