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.
An important regulatory change for Tri-City food exporters: from 2026, BTOM Phase 5 applies — full SPS (Sanitary and Phytosanitary) checks for food of animal and plant origin imported to the UK. This requires additional veterinary and phytosanitary certificates. Plutos 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 Ltd handles end-to-end.
