Sea, air and car shipping from Dubai to the Czech Republic, routed through North Sea or Adriatic ports, with customs clearance and delivery through our network partner office.
Overview
MegaSpeed Cargo ships cargo and cars from Dubai to the Czech Republic. The country has no sea port, so containers sail from Jebel Ali to Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam or Koper and continue to Prague, Brno or Ostrava by rail or truck. Air cargo flies to Prague. Our network partner office handles customs clearance and delivery.
Czech importers bring in machinery, parts, building materials and consumer goods from the UAE, and private buyers ship cars bought in Dubai. We plan the sea leg and the inland leg together and quote them as one route.
Cargo enters the EU at a German, Dutch or Slovenian port. It can be cleared there, or moved under customs transit and cleared in the Czech Republic; we advise which suits your shipment. Transit times depend on the sailing and the rail connection, so we confirm them with each quote.

Heavy machinery shippingPorts and routing
Czech cargo enters Europe through a sea port in another country and continues inland. We choose the gateway on cost, sailing frequency and the delivery address.
| Gateway | Serves | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Hamburg (Germany) | Bohemia and Prague | Main container gateway, with rail links to Czech terminals |
| Bremerhaven (Germany) | Whole country | RoRo vehicles and containers |
| Rotterdam (Netherlands) | Whole country | Containers, with rail and truck connections |
| Koper (Slovenia) | Moravia (Brno, Ostrava) | Adriatic route with rail to the Czech Republic |
| Prague Airport (PRG) | Whole country | Air cargo |
Containers move from the port by rail to inland terminals near Prague, Brno, Ostrava and Plzeň, or straight to your address by truck. Our network partner office books the last leg and the delivery appointment.
Dubai and Czech Republic
Our Dubai team runs the export side. Our network partner office in the Czech Republic handles the arrival side, so you deal with one company from quote to delivery.
The importer provides the EORI number and pays the duty and VAT. We quote the sea leg, the inland leg and destination charges separately, so you see each one before you book.
Car shipping
UAE-market cars are left-hand drive, like Czech cars. What matters is EU type approval, the import taxes and the registration inspection.
| Container | RoRo (roll-on roll-off) | Air freight | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it travels | Secured inside a 20ft or 40ft container | Driven onto a vehicle carrier, then parked on a secure deck | Secured on an aircraft pallet and flown as air cargo |
| Capacity | Up to 6 cars in a 40ft container | One vehicle per booking, any size the vessel accepts | One car per booking, within the aircraft size limits |
| Suits | High-value, classic or modified cars, and also non-running vehicles | Running cars, trucks and machinery on wheels, especially on a budget | Supercars, classics and cars needed urgently |
| Speed and cost | Regular sailings to the main ports at sea freight rates | RoRo to Bremerhaven or another North Sea port, then by truck; we confirm current sailings | Fastest option, at a higher cost than sea |
GCC-specification cars without an EU CoC need individual approval, which takes longer. Check that the car can be registered before you buy. If you only want to drive your own car in Europe for a few months, see shipping a car with a carnet.
Customs
The Czech Republic applies EU customs rules through the Czech Customs Administration. Duty follows the common EU tariff; VAT follows the Czech rate.
Documents
We check the paperwork with you before booking, so the cargo is not held on arrival.
How it works
Six steps, one point of contact.
First, tell us what you are shipping, where it is now and where it needs to go in Czech Republic.
We recommend the method and route, then quote the Dubai side and the destination side clearly.
Next, we book the sailing or flight and also confirm the paperwork for both countries.
We collect the cargo in the UAE, then load it at Jebel Ali and clear it for export.
You receive the Bill of Lading or Air Waybill and updates until arrival.
Finally, our network partner office clears the goods through customs in Czech Republic and arranges delivery.
Cost
Freight rates change with the market, so we quote each shipment on current rates. These are the factors that move the price.
Sea freight is priced per container, while air freight is priced on chargeable weight from a 45 kg minimum.
Port-to-port costs less, because door delivery adds destination handling, clearance and trucking.
Charged by Czech Customs on the customs value. Also, they are paid separately from freight.
FAQ
It depends on the method, the port and the sailing or flight you book. Air freight takes days, while sea freight takes several weeks, depending on the routing. We confirm the current transit time with each quote.
The price depends on the volume or weight, sea or air, port or door delivery, and current freight rates. Duty and VAT are paid on top of freight. Send us your cargo details for a quote based on this week's rates.
Air cargo starts at 45 kg chargeable weight. We are a freight forwarder, not a courier, so we do not ship documents or small parcels. Chargeable weight is the actual or the volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
We work with a network partner office in the Czech Republic. It handles customs clearance, release and delivery, while our Dubai team manages booking, export clearance and your updates.
The Czech Republic has no sea port. Containers usually arrive at Hamburg, Bremerhaven or Rotterdam, or at Koper in Slovenia for Moravia, and continue by rail or truck. Air cargo lands at Prague Airport.
Yes. Cars travel in a container, by RoRo where a service runs, or by air when speed matters. UAE cars are left-hand drive, but GCC-specification cars often lack EU type approval, so check that the car can be registered in the Czech Republic before you buy.
For a passenger car from outside the EU, import duty is normally 10% and VAT 21%, both on the customs value, with VAT also charged on the duty. Registration fees apply on top. The customs broker confirms the final amount.
Possibly. Transfer of residence relief can waive duty and VAT if you lived outside the EU for at least 12 months and owned and used the car for at least 6 months before moving. The car cannot be sold or lent for 12 months after import, and customs decides each case.
Yes. Our network partner office clears the shipment and delivers it to your address anywhere in the Czech Republic. Port-to-port shipping is also available if you use your own customs broker.
