Restrictions
Coins; paper money; securities and other paper values of any

gold, silver, and platinum may be imported only by
authorization of the State Bank.
Gift shipments must be sent by private individuals. Those sent
by commercial firms are not admitted.
Import permits are required for gift shipments exceeding three
per year for one addressee, or for any parcel exceeding
3,000 Slovak Republic crowns in value. Permits may be
issued to addressees or withheld at the discretion of the
customs authorities after the shipment arrives.
Medicines are admitted provided the addressee is in
possession of an import permit granted by the Slovak
Republic health authorities.
Philatelic articles and stamps exchanged between member
philatelists must not exceed 1,000 Slovak Republic crowns in
any calendar year. Gift packages containing philatelic articles

a total of 100 stamps or philatelic articles and 100 Slovak
Republic crowns in value.
Observations
1. An air parcel post item may be addressed to a street address
or to a post office box. A local telephone number for the
addressee should be provided when the item is addressed to
a street address and must be provided when the item is
addressed to a post office box.
2. Import licenses and quantity restrictions are applicable for
many articles sent to the Slovak Republic. Therefore,
senders should ascertain from the addressee before mailing
whether the contents are permitted and whether the
necessary documents are held.
3. Gift shipments for the personal use of the addressee or the
addressee's family do not require an import permit if the
contents do not exceed 5,000 Slovak Republic crowns.
When the total exceeds 2,000 Slovak Republic crowns, the
addressee must provide a gift certificate authenticated by an
authorized agent in that country. Slovak Republic customs
decides the value of the contents on the basis of internal
prices of identical articles.
4. Articles imported in postal items are exempt from customs
duties if their total value does not exceed 300 Slovak
Republic crowns.
