Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship from China to Poland?

What duties and taxes apply when importing into Poland?
Imports into Poland are assessed by the national EU customs authority. The applicable regime is: Import VAT 17–27% by member state; duty 0–12% by TARIC code. The duty-free / de-minimis position is EUR 150 (duty-free threshold). Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
Can I ship batteries via Air Freight to Poland?
Battery cargo by air to Poland is accepted with handling controls: built-in batteries follow IATA PI966/PI967, standalone cells need separate classification. We run certified battery channels through the main international gateway airport; surcharges add roughly USD 3–8/KG.
Is air or sea freight better for 100 KG to Poland?
For 100 KG to Poland, air is usually better on total landed cost despite a higher per-KG rate, because the 30–45 day ocean transit (plus 3–6 days dwell) raises inventory cost. Air also unlocks volume discounts above 100 KG.
Which ports and airports handle China shipments to Poland?
Sea freight to Poland typically routes through Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, while air freight clears via the main international gateway airport. We pick the gateway with the best onward delivery time to your final address and price it into the DDP rate.
How is chargeable weight calculated for Poland shipments?
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 100 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
What documents are required for customs clearance in Poland?
the national EU customs authority typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (CE marking + IOSS for low-value B2C parcels). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
What is DDP shipping to Poland and what does it include?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to Poland means one all-inclusive price covering freight, the duty/tax due to the national EU customs authority, and last-mile delivery to your door. The EUR 150 (duty-free threshold) de-minimis position is handled for you, and there are no surprise charges at destination.
