Why Export to Poland?

- Favourable Trade Relations: As an EU member, Poland benefits from harmonised regulations with the UK under post-Brexit agreements, making the export process simpler and more streamlined than in many non-EU markets.

Exporting to Poland in the Post-Brexit Trading Landscape
As Poland is a member of the European Union, a UK and EU EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) must be presented to border agencies to get goods through customs. Read our blog What is an EORI Number for more information on applying.
Further customs paperwork is a possible requirement depending on the cargo being exported to Poland, so be sure to research if any additional information needs to be provided to clear your goods. For more details, visit the UK government advisory page or ask our operations team for help to get started.
