Česká pošta has advised the temporary disruption caused by the power blackout has been resolved.
All IT systems are now fully operational, and EDI transmissions and customer service activities for letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items have resumed
The designated operator of Czechia, Česká pošta, wishes to inform Union member countries and their designated operators that, owing to an unforeseen power blackout currently affecting the entire country, all IT systems are down. As a result, EDI transmissions and customer service activities for letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items are temporarily interrupted. Česká pošta is monitoring the situation closely and will resume normal operations as soon as possible.
The designated operator of France, La Poste, has advised that owing to a major incident regarding its information system, lasting from Monday, 10th to Thursday, 13th February 2025 and relating to customs clearance of letter-post items bearing Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) numbers, a risk of double taxation has been identified.
La Poste has re-sent as many declarations as possible to the French customs authority and its delivery staff have been informed of the problem. La Poste is making every effort to avoid the erroneous collection of customs charges from addressees who have already paid via the IOSS number.
Česká pošta, confirms that following the heavy rains and flooding, all postal operations have resumed as normal with effect from Thursday, 3 October 2024. The backlog of undelivered mail will be processed gradually.
