Customs Requirements from Poland
Both an EU and UK EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) is required and provided to border agencies. Read What is an EORI Number for how to get started. More paperwork is often needed and presented to customs post-Brexit depending on what goods you ship, so thoroughly research what you need; otherwise, your shipments will face delays and accrue fees. For further details, visit the UK government advisory page.
REQUIREMENTS
Import Requirements
VAT and Duties
Customs duties are due for consignments from the EU to the UK, but with the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, tariff-free can be claimed if the goods have originated from Poland, and the fact must be in a sworn customs declaration. There are excluded goods, so be sure to research what you are planning to send and additional costs to consider.
Making a Declaration
Customs declarations completed correctly make shipping easy, but even a tiny mistake will mean customs agencies can hold good at the border. You can fill out the commercial shipping declarations for your business, or better yet, hire an expert to ensure you don’t hit unnecessary delays or red tape. Barrington Freight has extensive import declaration experience importing from the UK from Poland to manage the process, and our agents are always on hand to help with documentation as our clients require.
Special Licences and Certificates
Depending on what goods are in your consignment, the EU and UK borders will likely need special licenses and certificates.
We are friendly, easy to work with, honest and we do not charge the earth.

Brilliant EXW freight forwarding services from China to the UK. Professionally done, readily available for support, and our shipments were trackable. There were last minute issues on regards to customs clearance and redirecting of goods that we take responsibility for, but with their quick action, we were able to swiftly solve it all in much less than 24hrs. Fantastic experience working with Simon and his team, will continue to engage them for the foreseeable future. Thanks again Simon and the BF team!
