Frequently asked questions
What documents are required to export to the UK? expand_more
To export to the UK you need: a commercial invoice, packing list, EX1 export declaration, proof of origin (EUR.1 or origin statement on the invoice), and a CMR. Depending on the goods, additional phytosanitary, veterinary, or CE certificates may be required.
How does exporting to the UK differ from exporting within the EU? expand_more
Since Brexit the UK is a third country for the EU. Exporting to the UK requires submitting an export declaration (EX1) in Poland and completing an import customs clearance in the UK. Goods must have proof of EU origin to qualify for zero duty under the TCA. An invoice alone is not sufficient — full customs documentation is required.
How much does a customs agent charge for a UK export? expand_more
A customs agency service for export to the UK costs approximately £45 to £120. The exact quote depends on the type of goods, value, number of tariff lines, and complexity of the documentation. The figures given are indicative — an exact quote is provided once documents are submitted.
