Łódź — regional customs and logistics profile
Łódź is one of Poland's largest industrial and logistics centres. The Łódź region exports to the United Kingdom primarily clothing and textile goods, upholstered furniture, cosmetics and FMCG products. The historic legacy of the textile industry is reflected today in modern factories producing for the UK market.
The key customs point for Łódź is the Małaszewicze rail terminal — a hub on the New Silk Road — and the road route via the A1/A2 motorway. For express shipments, Łódź Władysławów or Warsaw Okęcie airport (90 km) are used. The Amazon Fulfilment Centre near Łódź generates hundreds of B2C shipments to the UK every day, handled by specialist brokers.
Companies in the Łódź SEZ benefit from preferential investment procedures that can be combined with UK simplified customs procedures (EIDR/CFSP). Plutos Ltd advises on optimising the import–export cycle for manufacturers from Łódź.
An important tip for clothing exporters: the HS code for women's woollen knitwear (HS 6104) differs from synthetic knitwear (HS 6104/6110) in terms of the UK MFN duty rate. Correct classification with the support of a broker avoids overpayment of duty or a penalty for an incorrect declaration.
