Customs formalities for Poland
Required documents

Send a parcel from Switzerland to Poland in a few clicks at the best price on our website. Choose the carrier (DHL, FedEx, UPS, Aramex, or TNT) that will collect your document or package from your home. Your shipment must be accompanied by a proforma invoice (automatically generated by Expedismart.ch). It informs the Polish customs about the contents of your package. For valuable goods, you can take out parcel insurance. If the goods are sold in Poland, a commercial invoice must be delivered, which you can issue yourself or it can be filled in automatically when you book your shipment through Expedismart.ch.

Customs tariffs

For a parcel shipment to Poland, you must enclose the pro forma invoice, regardless of whether it is an import or export shipment. The pro forma invoice is automatically generated by Expedismart.ch and shows the Polish customs the contents of your parcel. Due to the strict customs controls in Poland, waiting times may sometimes occur. Since joining the EU on May 1, 2004, Poland has been using the Euro as its currency but also has its own currency called Złoty (1 Złoty = 0.25 CHF).

What is prohibited to import and export from Poland?

Make sure that you do not send any prohibited goods. The list of prohibited goods varies by carrier (FedEx, UPS, TNT, DHL or Aramex) and country.

Waste
Fur
Antiques
Explosive substances
Toxic substances
Civil and service weapons
Perishable goods
Ivory
Isopropano
Pornographic material

* This list can be modified by the country of destination or the carrier.
