Customs
Before sending your parcel to Poland, please make sure that none of the items in your parcels contravene the restrictions imposed by customs at destination.
Customs website: http://www.archbip.mf.gov.pl/
Documents Needed
After you have paid for a shipping service to Poland, you will be redirected
to a page where you can download and print out the relevant shipping labels, i.e
AWB (Courier Air Waybills - barcode) - Proforma or Commercial invoice - Address label.
The above documents are standard for any international shipment.
Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the
customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.
Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Poland is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

When you book a shipping service to Poland, you will be able to choose an
appropriate level of cover for your shipment. We offer enhanced parcel protection for up to £2000
for a small additional fee.
If you do not purchase enhanced Shipment Protection, your shipment will be only covered to a maximum
value of £50 as per the limited liability set out in our
Terms & Conditions and subject to your
parcel passing minimum packaging requirements.
Please note that the declared value for customs purposes is not related to the declared value selected

When arranging your shipping to Gdansk you will be hard pushed to find a service as quick and simple to use as RapidParcel.com where the customer’s convenience comes first every time.
We appreciate that many of our customers lead busy and demanding lives and that a package delivery to Gdansk will be merely one of many things they have to get round to organising during the course of an average day. That’s why we set out to make sure that every step of our booking process is built around the customers’ requirements.
Gdansk is Poland’s largest seaport, built at the mouth of the river Motlawa, a position which has, over the years, cemented its place as the centre of Poland’s sea trade. Thus, many thousands of parcels wing their way to Gdansk every working day and we like to feel we do a better job of it than anyone else. The city is also famous as the birthplace of the trade union Solidarity, which contributed to the downfall of Communism in the Eastern Bloc and cemented the position of Gdansk as a place of historical importance. In the summer it also attracts millions of visitors drawn by the Baltic beaches.
Everything you could need from a carrier and more
No matter why you wish to send a package delivery to Gdansk, we want to make sure the whole process is shaped around your needs and convenience. Your first concern will be securing the services of the best couriers possible for your Gdansk parcel delivery, and we took the effort out of that by doing it for you – providing you with a list of carriers whose names you’ll recognise as being the very best in the business. All you need to do is choose the courier and deal that suit you best, and we’ve negotiated prices for your Gdansk package delivery that won’t be matched, even if you go directly to the couriers.
It’s once you’ve booked your shipping to Gdansk that our dedication to your convenience really comes into its own – we can arrange to collect your parcel delivery to Gdansk from any address in the UK. It could be a hotel, your workplace or the home of a friend; as long as there is access, and someone to hand the courier your parcel upon their arrival you can get on with more important matters. Alternatively you could pop into one of our drop-off points at rail stations and airports across the country to leave your shipments with us until the relevant carrier is ready to pick it up. Then, while it is in transit you can track all items you ship via a single tracking page on our site.
Of course it’s not just Gdansk – we offer the same convenience if you’re arranging a Wroclaw parcel delivery, a package delivery to Poznan or need to ship anywhere else. Simplicity, convenience and value are at the heart of our service.
