When eyewear products enter the Czech market, there is a mandatory rule that must be followed - all sunglasses and optical frames exported to the European Union must pass CE certification (sunglasses according to EN ISO 12312-1, frames according to EN ISO 12870). In addition, metal mirror frames that come into direct contact with the skin also require nickel release testing (EN 16128:2025, expected to become a national standard in April 2026). Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the export of sensitive goods from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan for many years, providing one-stop services such as full container load/less than container load, double clearance with tax included, and door-to-door service.

1、 Shenzhen to Czech Republic Glasses Shipping Price and Timeframe: Inland Transit Line

Czech Republic is a landlocked country without a direct seaport. Goods need to be transshipped through European hub ports (Hamburg or Koper) and then transported by truck or railway to Prague, Brno and other places. Kopel Port to Czech Republic land transportation only takes 1-2 days, making it the preferred gateway for southern goods; Hamburg Port has the densest air routes. It is recommended to book shipping 3-4 weeks in advance during the peak season (June September).

One fixed price package: ocean freight+domestic trailer customs clearance+Czech import customs clearance+customs duties (exempted for goods with a value ≤ 150 euros)+21% value-added tax+final delivery. The common HS codes for glasses are 9003 (eyeglass frame) and 9004 (sunglasses).

|FCL | 35-45 days | Shenzhen to Hamburg/Koper direct flight (25-30 days), land transfer to Czech Republic (5-10 days)|

|LCL | 38-50 days | European hub port unpacking and distribution, land transportation to Prague and Brno|

|DDP door-to-door | 38-52 days | Covering the entire region of Prague, Brno, Ostrava, etc|

Czech tax points: Czech Republic implements EU unified tariffs, and goods with a value ≤ 150 euros are exempt from tariffs. The VAT standard tax rate is 21%, calculated based on CIF+tariffs. Having a local tax number can apply for deferred payment, but it is not actually paid during customs clearance and can be deducted quarterly.

2、 Shenzhen to Czech Republic Glasses Shipping Customs Clearance Documents and Processes: CE+REACH Two Compliance Checkpoints

The biggest difference between exporting glasses to the Czech Republic and regular goods is CE certification and REACH compliance requirements.

1. CE certification - mandatory access to the European market

Sunglasses are classified as personal protective equipment (PPE) in Europe and require CE certification according to EN ISO 12312-1:2022. The testing items include lens transmittance, UV protection, flame retardancy, lens vertex power, impact resistance (tested with 6mm diameter steel balls at 45 meters per second), sweat resistance, etc. The lens must be labeled with the filter category (0-4 categories) and applicable scenario limitations.

The optical frame is certified according to EN ISO 12870. Each material and design needs to be tested separately.

-Manufacturers may issue a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), but the testing report must come from a qualified laboratory

-The CE mark must be clearly printed on the product body, packaging or instructions

-Technical documents must be kept for at least 10 years for future reference

2. REACH regulation and nickel release testing

The EU REACH regulation provides preventive management for chemicals. The export of glasses must pay special attention to the issue of nickel release:

-In October 2025, the European Committee for Standardization released EN 16128:2025, replacing the 2015 version

-This standard will be included in the Czech national standard system by the end of April 2026 at the latest

-Nickel release limit: 0.5 micrograms per square centimeter per week

-The new version clarifies the distinction between coating and migration testing, and expands the sample preparation instructions

3. Core customs clearance documents (pre reviewed by our company)

-Commercial invoice (in English, including HS code, CIF value, and EORI number of both parties)

-Packing list (gross weight/net weight and detailed content)

-Certificate of Origin and Original Bill of Lading

-CE certificate and testing report (EN ISO 12312-1, EN ISO 12870)

-REACH Compliance Declaration and Nickel Release Test Report (EN 16128:2025)

-Product manual and label

4. Customs clearance process (handled by Prague Cooperative Bank)

-Complete CE certification and nickel release testing before export

-Complete ICS2 declaration 24 hours before departure, including recipient EORI and 6-digit HS code

-Electronic customs declaration upon arrival, payment of customs duties and 21% VAT on behalf of others

-DPD/Czech Post delivers throughout the country

3、 Shipping packaging requirements for glasses from Shenzhen to Czech Republic: Three layer protection, suitable for multiple transfers

Glasses are delicate and fragile items, and there are multiple loading and unloading processes involved in inland transit in the Czech Republic. The packaging must be shock resistant, pressure resistant, and moisture resistant. Three layer protection method:

|Wrap the inner layer with soft cloth or eyeglass bag and place it in the eyeglass box, which should be tightly sealed; Lens covered with protective film to prevent scratches; The blister box or sponge pad should be tightly attached to the contour of the lens|

|Middle layer filling | The box is filled with sufficient cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl wool), and all mirror boxes are fixed without shaking or collision|

|Outer reinforcement | Five layer double anti corrugated cardboard box, sealed with "I" character, tape ≥ 5cm; the outer box is labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", and "Keep Dry" in both Chinese and English|

Wooden packaging: If wooden pallets or boxes are used, they must have an IPPC fumigation label (ISPM 15). If the label is unclear or missing, they will face return shipping.

Core points: Single box ≤ 25kg; product label "Made in China"; Place desiccant inside the box to prevent moisture; The batch number corresponds exactly to the invoice information.

4、 Shenzhen to Czech Republic Glasses Shipping Five Compliance Red Lines

1. CE certification cannot be skipped

Sunglasses and frames belong to the PPE category in the European Union, and those without CE certification will face customs detention. It is recommended to initiate the certification process 2-3 months in advance.

2. Nickel release testing is a key focus of the new regulations

EN 16128:2025 will become the Czech national standard by the end of April 2026. The metal frame must pass testing, and the nickel release rate must not exceed 0.5 micrograms per square centimeter per week.

3. Deferred tariffs and VAT

Goods with a value ≤ 150 euros are exempt from customs duties, but VAT still needs to be paid (tax rate of 21%). Having a Czech tax number can apply for deferred payment, but it is not actually paid during customs clearance and can be deducted quarterly.

4. ICS2 mandatory declaration

All goods must complete ENS declaration 24 hours before departure, including EORI, 6-digit HS code, etc. LCL requires one ticket per customer, and fines may be imposed for data errors or omissions.

5. Labels and efficacy claims

The product must be labeled with the "Made in China" country of origin logo. Functional claims such as UV protection and blue light protection must be supported by testing, otherwise they may be penalized for "false advertising".
