The fee for electronically processed service

The fee for the issuance of a phytosanitary certificate is CZK 500 in accordance with item 80 of the Act on Administrative Fees.

The fee can be paid by a stamp in the value of CZK 500, which must be handed in at the latest when the certificate is handed over, but you can also pay in advance by bank transfer to account No 19-87425641/0710.

If you pay by bank transfer, you must enter the variable symbol which will be assigned to you by the Central Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture on request. If you pay by bank transfer, the phytosanitary certificate can only be handed over to you once the fee for issuing it has been credited to the account of the Central Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture.

The fee is waived for a phytosanitary certificate issued for a consignment intended for non-business purposes, i.e. most often for natural persons not engaged in business or other non-commercial purposes such as schools and research institutes.
