Details
Professional Camera is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Czech Republic.

Personal-import duty-free threshold is 0 EUR (since 2021 EU IOSS reform); carriage above the threshold attracts duty + 21% VAT.
Leaving with this item
Professional camera equipment may be exported from Czech Republic freely at personal-use quantities.

Walk the Green Channel for single-unit personal effects. For multiple units or high-value items, declare at Red Channel + present purchase receipts.
