Gdansk and Tri-City — port customs specifics
Gdansk is Poland's largest seaport and one of the most important trade hubs on the Baltic. DCT Gdansk Port operates deep-sea container services to the UK (Felixstowe, London Gateway), making it a natural departure point for exporters across northern Poland.
The Tri-City exports to the UK primarily furniture and wood products (a tradition rooted in Kashubian joinery), processed food (fish, dairy, grain), building materials (prefabricated elements, aluminium profiles, insulation) and electronics from local manufacturing facilities.
Important information for Tri-City food exporters: since 2024, the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) applies — SPS (Sanitary and Phytosanitary) checks for food of animal and plant origin imported to the UK, with scope depending on the product's risk category. This may require additional veterinary and phytosanitary certificates — confirm details with HMRC/DEFRA. Plutos Team Agent Ltd advises Gdansk food producers on adapting to these requirements.
Port Free Zone Gdansk (Free Customs Zone) and PTEZ Żuławy are areas where goods can be stored with deferred duty. Exports from these zones to the UK require standard CDS declarations, which Plutos Team Agent Ltd handles end-to-end.
