CLARITY FROM DAY ONE
CUSTOMS & DOCUMENTS
Poland is an EU member state. Since Brexit, moving household goods from the UK to Poland crosses an international customs border. Your belongings must be declared through the Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa (KAS - National Revenue Administration).
Transfer of Residence relief allows you to import your used household goods into Poland without paying import duty or VAT (23%), provided you qualify: you must be genuinely relocating your main residence to Poland, you must have been resident outside the EU for at least 12 consecutive months before the move, and the goods must have been owned and used by you for at least 6 months. You must register at the Urząd Gminy (municipal office) to obtain your PESEL number and residency registration (zameldowanie).
Clearance time: 2 to 5 working days with correct documentation in place
If documentation is incomplete or the 12-month non-EU residency requirement cannot be demonstrated, Poland customs will assess your household goods for import duty and VAT at 23%. This can amount to a significant sum on a full household.
Getting the paperwork right before departure is far simpler than resolving it after your goods have arrived at the border.
We work with licensed customs agents registered with the Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa (KAS - National Revenue Administration). Your goods are professionally cleared without you visiting any customs office.
