Customs formalities for Poland
Required documents
Send a parcel from Switzerland to Poland in a few clicks at the best price on our website. Choose the carrier (DHL, FedEx, UPS, Aramex, or TNT) that will collect your document or package from your home. Your shipment must be accompanied by a proforma invoice (automatically generated by Expedismart.ch). It informs the Polish customs about the contents of your package. For valuable goods, you can take out parcel insurance. If the goods are sold in Poland, a commercial invoice must be delivered, which you can issue yourself or it can be filled in automatically when you book your shipment through Expedismart.ch.

- The complete address of the recipient and sender
- An exact description of the goods, the value of the goods in CHF and the number of parcels

Customs tariffs
For a parcel shipment to Poland, you must enclose the pro forma invoice, regardless of whether it is an import or export shipment. The pro forma invoice is automatically generated by Expedismart.ch and shows the Polish customs the contents of your parcel. Due to the strict customs controls in Poland, waiting times may sometimes occur. Since joining the EU on May 1, 2004, Poland has been using the Euro as its currency but also has its own currency called Złoty (1 Złoty = 0.25 CHF).

- Toxic substances
- Civil and service weapons
