Why is my Czech Post parcel stuck in customs?
Parcels from outside the EU are presented to Czech customs at the office of exchange. A "Preparation for customs clearance" status means the item is awaiting review, and you may need to confirm the declared value or pay import VAT and duty before it moves to "Cleared and released for delivery." Intra-EU parcels skip customs entirely.
