Import of Goods – Transport and Procedures
Importing goods from outside the European Union
Import is the process of bringing goods from countries outside the European Union into Poland. For many companies, it is an important part of their operations, providing access to products, raw materials, and new markets.
To carry out an import, specific requirements must be met. It is necessary to prepare documents, complete customs clearance, and organize international transport.
We help companies efficiently organize imports – from logistics to the transport of goods from third countries.
What is the import of goods?
Import refers to bringing goods from outside the European Union into its customs territory – including materials and raw materials, industrial products, machinery and equipment, or goods intended for sale. Each item must be declared for clearance and go through the appropriate procedure.
What does the import procedure look like?
The import procedure involves declaring goods to the customs office and releasing them for circulation within the EU – covering document preparation, transport organization, customs declaration and payment of duty and taxes. Once completed, the goods can be legally sold on the European market.
What documents are needed?
Import requires a commercial invoice, packing list, a document confirming the origin of the goods, and transport documents. Depending on the goods, additional certificates or permits may also be required.
Transport and import logistics
Transport is a crucial part of the import process – by road, sea, air or rail. The choice depends on the type of goods and the country of origin, and affects costs and delivery time.
Support in organizing import and transport
Importing goods involves many interconnected stages – from documents, through customs clearance, to international transport. For many businesses, it is the foundation of operations and ensures continuity of supply.
A single missing document or a mistake in the goods classification can delay the whole process and increase its cost.
At Pacia, we support companies in organizing imports and international transport – ensuring efficient execution of the entire process, from documentation to delivery.
