Cancellation of free acceptance of EMS parcels to recipients in Ukraine
Poczta Polska (Polish Post) maintains the exemption from customs duties, taxes, and postage for humanitarian aid shipments to Ukraine sent to the POL-CEL warehouse in Chełm. However, it is canceling the free acceptance of EMS parcels weighing up to 20 kg to recipients in Ukraine.
Due to the dynamic situation in Ukraine, as of April 28 this year, Poczta Polska is canceling the free acceptance of EMS parcels weighing up to 20 kg to addressees in Ukraine containing humanitarian aid items.
Due to ongoing military operations, not all territories in Ukraine are currently served by the country's postal operator. Up-to-date information is provided by the Ukrainian Post at the following links: https://offices.ukrposhta.ua/ and https://offices.ukrposhta.ua/assets/ukrposhta-possible.png
Humanitarian aid shipments to Ukraine from outside the European Union, directed to the POL-CEL warehouse in Chełm, will continue to be exempt from customs duties, taxes, and postage in Poland. The creation of preferential terms for handling parcels carrying aid to the attacked neighbor, which pass through a Polish intermediary, was made possible thanks to agreements between Poczta Polska and the Ministry of Finance.
In accordance with applicable regulations, shipments containing goods originating from third countries arriving in Poland are subject to customs duties and taxes charged by the National Revenue Administration and a postal fee for submitting a customs declaration.
