Shipping Methods

You will have the options to choose one of the two available shipping methods – RORO and container shipping. If you decide to go with container shipping, a crane is going to place your car within a 20ft or 40ft container and then seal it. You will also be capable of keeping household goods as well as other personal belongings inside the container. This is the costlier option but more secure and safe.

If you are on a tighter budget, RORO is the option that you want to go for. You will have to drive your vehicle on a freight ship on the shipping deck where it’s going to get fastened and secured. This is a convenient option, if you don’t have any belongings to ship. It is important that as it will be parked on the deck with other vehicles, you should not mind your vehicle being exposed to the elements throughout the entire time of the shipping.

Paperwork For Custom Clearances

The legalities implemented by Polish Customs Authority include the entry of your car in the city only after submission of different documents as well as their verification. You are going to need the Bill of Lading, passport of the owner, title deed of the vehicle, driving license, work or resident permit, purchase invoice and other validating documents. You have to clear the taxes which are the same all over EU. If you are a returning citizen or a diplomat you are allowed to import tax free. However, if you are not, you need to pay 10% import duty as well as 23% VAT. The border tax, on the other hand, will vary based on the capacity of your engine.
