Import Export Compliance Poland Company
Companies trading goods between Poland and markets outside the European Union must manage customs formalities, identification requirements, electronic declarations and product-specific obligations. Compliance is not limited to submitting an import or export declaration. The classification, origin, customs value, supporting documents and applicable controls can all affect how a shipment must be handled.
YKG Global assists companies and foreign entrepreneurs with structuring their Poland import export compliance requirements, coordinating documentation and understanding the customs procedures applicable to their transactions.
What Does Import Export Compliance in Poland Cover?
Import compliance Poland and export compliance depend on the type of goods, trading partners, destination, transaction structure and whether the movement is between EU and non-EU countries.
Key areas may include:
• Customs registration and EORI identification
• PUESC registration and access to relevant customs services
• Import and export customs declarations
• Correct classification of goods
• Customs valuation and applicable duties
• Determining and documenting origin
• Commercial invoices, transport documents and supporting records
• Import or export restrictions applicable to particular goods
• Customs procedures and release requirements
• Intrastat obligations where applicable to intra-EU trade
• Electronic communication with Polish customs authorities
The exact obligations should be assessed according to the goods and transaction rather than applying the same compliance process to every shipment.
Why Is an EORI Number Important for Polish Importers and Exporters?
An EORI number Poland registration is relevant when a company imports goods from or exports goods to countries outside the EU. EORI is the customs identification number used when dealing with customs authorities across the EU.
Polish companies can obtain EORI through the PUESC system. A foreign company may also have specific EORI arrangements depending on where it is established and whether it already has an EORI number in another EU Member State.
EORI should therefore be addressed before a company begins customs operations rather than treated as a routine post-shipment formality.
How Does PUESC Fit Into Import and Export Compliance?
PUESC is Poland's electronic platform for customs and certain other fiscal procedures. Company registration on PUESC enables businesses to handle relevant customs formalities and obtain or use EORI information.
Current PUESC guidance states that company registration is required for activities including customs declarations and INTRASTAT submissions. The registration process can also involve providing current corporate registration documents and evidence of representation for foreign companies.
For companies submitting electronic customs declarations, appropriate system authorisations may also be required. PUESC identifies separate authorisations for export declarations through AES, import declarations through AIS/IMPORT and entry summary declarations through AIS/ICS.
What Should a Company Check Before Importing Goods Into Poland?
Effective Poland customs compliance starts before the goods arrive.
Companies should establish:
• The correct customs classification of the products
• Whether the goods are subject to import restrictions, licences or controls
• The applicable customs procedure
• The customs value and factors affecting it
• The origin of the goods
• Required commercial and transport documentation
• Whether additional declarations or authorisations apply
• Whether customs representation will be handled internally or through another party
For goods imported from outside the EU, the release-for-free-circulation procedure can involve satisfying trade-policy requirements, completing customs formalities and paying applicable charges such as customs duty. Polish customs guidance also provides for electronic import declarations through the relevant customs systems.
What Does Export Compliance Require?
Export compliance Poland involves more than arranging transportation to a foreign customer. The company should determine the correct customs procedure and ensure that the export declaration and supporting information accurately reflect the transaction.
Depending on the shipment, companies may need to examine:
• Product classification
• Destination country
• Origin information
• Export restrictions or controls
• Customs value and transaction information
• Commercial invoice and transport documentation
• Export declaration requirements
• Records supporting the transaction
Electronic export declarations are handled through the applicable PUESC customs systems, subject to the required authorisation and procedures.
Documents Commonly Relevant to Import Export Compliance
The precise documentation depends on the transaction and goods, but a compliance review may involve:
• Company registration information
• EORI details
• PUESC registration information
• Commercial invoices
• Packing lists
• Transport documents
• Product descriptions and specifications
• Customs classification information
• Origin documentation
• Customs valuation information
• Import or export licences, where applicable
• Customs declarations and related records
Foreign companies may also need current corporate registration documents and evidence showing the authority of the person representing the company during PUESC registration procedures.
