VAT.\n\nCzechia: the schedule lists a further fee, “Minimum Amount”, of 2000 CZK excl. VAT.\n\nCzechia: the schedule describes its eco-modulation method as “per category”.\n\nThe schedule also lists 2 other fees, which are not part of the per-kilogram estimate on this page.\n\nThe schedule describes an eco-modulation of its rates, so the fee a producer pays can be adjusted up or down from the base rates shown here."
