Meat and dairy imports in Czechia (2026)

Last reviewed: 30 October 2026

In short: Within the EU, travellers can carry meat and dairy products freely. From non-EU countries, including England, Scotland and Wales, they are not allowed in luggage, except from a few listed countries, small amounts of infant milk and special foods (under 2 kg), and fish up to 20 kg.

Notes

  • Arrivals from the Faroe Islands or Greenland may bring up to 10 kg of these products. The EU page applies in all Member States; the Czech State Veterinary Administration site (svscr.cz) refused automated access, so no Czech page was read.
  • The EU poster says England, Wales and Scotland are subject to normal procedures and veterinary controls; the rules for non-EU countries therefore apply.
  • There is no weight limit for fishery products from the Faroe Islands or Greenland. For other animal products such as honey, the EU page allows up to 2 kg.
