Customs Advice
The importation of certain products into a country is restricted in order to protect the economy and
safety of its citizens. The restrictions may be imposed by Customs or by any other agency which has
regulatory authority.
We provide a shipping service only and Customs at the parcel's destination will determine whether any
charges are payable on your package. All duties, taxes and/or quarantine fees applied are at the
discretion of local customs or governmental organisations and are out of our control.
If the addressee refuses to pay duties/taxes, the parcel may be held, returned (if allowed by Customs)
or destroyed, and additional costs may be incurred. As per Terms and Conditions, those charges will be
billed to the sender.
Please note, no shipping costs are recoverable for parcels held or destroyed, even if shipping
protection cover has been purchased.
Majority of parcels can be delivered door to door, once it has cleared customs at destination. However,
some countries have a door to airport service only. In those countries, the recipients may have to
present themselves to either Customs or the local courier's office to take possession of their
consignment.
We advise you to verify independently, all Customs, Governmental and Quarantine regulations. These rules
can and do frequently change without prior notice or recourse.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

There are many features we offer to anyone shipping to Brno, from highly competitive pricing to a simple booking process; but perhaps the most important aspect is security, and the sense of comfort which comes from the certainty that your Brno parcel delivery will be looked after each and every moment until it arrives at its destination.
The Czech city of Brno is the second largest in the entire republic and nestles at the meeting point of the Svitava and Svratka rivers, in a valley formed by hills on three sides. The city is a leading centre for both Czech higher education, with eleven universities and 80,000 students, and the legal system, boasting the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, the Supreme Administrative Court, the Supreme Court, the Ombudsman and the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. The city is famous for hosting motor racing events at the Brno racing circuit and also for the annual international firework competition known as the Ignis Brunensis, which attracts over a million visitors a year. Important monuments in the city include the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul and the Villa Tugendhat, which features on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Tourism aside, the city is also an international centre for business conferences and trade fairs, with over a million visitors attending over forty such fairs every year.
We have seen the demand for Brno shipping increasing over recent years and the fact that we provide one of the industry's finest shipment protection deals means RapidParcel.com is the obvious choice to take on this responsibility.

The standard of care we bring to your parcel delivery to Brno means that it's very unlikely that any problems will arise but, for your peace of mind, we have joined forces with Poundgates, one of the world's best providers of shipment protection. Just as we only work with the finest courier partners, the same can be said for our shipment protection partner. They're the best around and are ISO accredited and listed at Lloyds as an approved cover holder.
