When Shipping to Poland, clearance through Customs depends on whether you're shipping:

• Documents with no commercial value
• Dutiable goods

For shipments where clearance is required, Polish Customs Authority requires 22% VAT for all shipments with a value above US $20. Depending of the commodity, tax will also be added prior to release. FedEx will charge recipient VAT and taxes either directly or charge their account at Customs. Only companies can apply for this account at Customs.

Certain items are prohibited by Customs for import to Poland. These items are in addition to items forbidden by IATA. Senders are responsible for making sure that the goods they are shipping are acceptable for shipment to Poland.

Forbidden for Import to Poland

• Cash and cash equivalents
• Dangerous goods as defined by IATA
• Prescription drugs (without approval from Polish doctors)

Required Documentation

Required documentation varies according to the following factors:

• Whether you are shipping documents with no Declared value. These shipments require only the fully completed FedEx International Air Waybill.
