Discusses the prevalence and reliability of express delivery firms within the country, time from large U.S. cities, and relevant customs procedures, including de minimis amounts.

Three express delivery companies operate in the Czech Republic: DHL, FedEx and UPS.
DHL has been in the country since 1991 and has the largest network. Since 2014, DHL has operated two international distribution centers: one in Prague and the other in Ostrava in Northern Moravia.

UPS entered the Czech market in 1992 working with a local partner. Since 1999, UPS has operated independently with operations at Prague International Airport. The company’s main office is in Prague. Last year the company introduced year-round direct daily flights between Prague and Germany and Hungary.
FedEx has been in the Czech market since 1993 and also has its main office in Prague. Express deliveries from major U.S. cities take approximately two days. The main challenge is that Czech customs offices sometimes take a long time to process delivery documents.

All three companies are members of the Czech Association of Express Delivery Companies.
