CHRISTMAS WITH POLISH POST: Ordering a gift from outside the EU? The post office will help with customs clearance.
When ordering gifts from outside the European Union, you can't forget about customs duties. However, you don't have to handle everything yourself. Poczta Polska has launched a new comprehensive customs service that will help you avoid additional hassles and unexpected costs.
Poles are increasingly keen to shop online, especially in the run-up to the holidays. A growing number of customers are choosing to purchase holiday gifts from retailers outside the EU. Therefore, we remind all recipients of such shipments of the option of using customs clearance through Poczta Polska, allowing you to seamlessly receive your orders even from the most remote corners of the world, completing all formalities in one place.
Poczta Polska has been providing customs clearance services under the VAT E-commerce package since 2021, and this year it has expanded its offering to include goods outside the VAT e-commerce package – those valued at over EUR 150. This new service allows customers to benefit from a quick and simple shipment process, minimizing customs and tax clearance formalities and saving time.
Poczta Polska customers can count on the full support of specialists who handle all aspects of the customs clearance process, including preparing and submitting the necessary documentation. Poczta Polska employees possess the necessary knowledge and experience to efficiently handle formalities and ensure compliance with applicable legal regulations. This helps avoid potential errors that could delay shipment delivery or incur additional costs.
Customers receive notifications of their shipment's arrival, along with information on the steps to take to conveniently clear their shipment through Poczta Polska, as well as a detailed cost calculation. It's worth noting that Poczta Polska's customs clearance fees are currently among the lowest on the market.
Poczta Polska also allows shipments to the most remote corners of the globe. Depending on the intended destination, our customers can take advantage of a wide range of available services, such as EMS, postal parcel, standard letter, registered letter, insured letter, or Global Express. We are currently working to expand our offerings with a service providing comprehensive customs support for shipments sent outside the European Union.
