Poland is the "locomotive" of the Central and Eastern European economy, and Gdansk Port is one of the busiest container hubs along the Baltic Sea coast. To successfully enter this market, eyewear products must cross two hard thresholds - CE certification (sunglasses EN ISO 12312-1, frames EN ISO 12870) and REACH regulation (including nickel release testing EN 16128:2025). Starting from July 1, 2026, the EU's 150 euro tariff exemption will be officially cancelled, and the cost structure of eyewear exports will undergo an adjustment.
Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the export of sensitive goods from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan for many years. We provide one-stop services such as full container load/less than container load (FCL), double clearance with tax included, and door-to-door service to help you go global in compliance and efficiently seize the Central and Eastern European markets.
1、 Shenzhen to Poland eyewear sea freight price and delivery time: Gdansk special line, one ticket, one negotiation
Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou, and Dongguan Port, the direct flight to Gdansk Port or Gdynia Port takes about 25-30 days, with a transit time of about 35-45 days. It is recommended to book shipping 3-4 weeks in advance during the peak season (June September).
One fixed price package: ocean freight+domestic trailer customs clearance+Polish import customs clearance+customs duties+23% value-added tax+final delivery. HS codes for glasses are commonly 9003 (eyeglass frames), 9004 (sunglasses), and 9001 (lenses).
Key points of taxes and fees in Poland:
-Tariffs: The tariff rate for eyewear products is determined by the TARIC code. Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union will officially cancel tariff exemptions for goods with a value ≤ 150 euros. During the transition period (until July 2028), small packages with a value below 150 euros will be subject to a unified tariff of 3 euros based on the category of goods.
-Value added tax: The standard tax rate in Poland is 23%, calculated based on the total amount after CIF and customs duty.
-VAT deferral: Importers with Polish VAT numbers can apply for deferral, but they will not make actual payments during customs clearance and will be deducted quarterly.

2、 Shenzhen to Poland Glasses Shipping Customs Clearance Documents and Process: CE+REACH Form Double Line of Defense
The biggest difference between exporting glasses to Poland and general merchandise lies in two EU compliance requirements.
CE certification - mandatory access to PPE categories
Sunglasses are classified as personal protective equipment (PPE) under EU regulations and must be certified according to EN ISO 12312-1:2022. The testing items include: lens transmittance, UV resistance, flame retardant testing, impact resistance (with a 6mm diameter steel ball impacting at 45 meters per second), lens sweat resistance, etc. The lens must be labeled with the filter category (0-4 categories) and usage restrictions.
The optical frame is certified according to EN ISO 12870, and each material and style must be tested separately.
-Manufacturers may issue a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), but the testing report must come from a qualified laboratory
-The CE mark must be clearly printed on the product body, packaging or instructions
-Poland specifically requires that the CE mark cannot be replaced or obscured by any non CE mark
2. REACH regulation and nickel release testing
EN 16128:2025 was released in October 2025 and will become the Polish national standard by the end of April 2026. The new standard clearly distinguishes coatings from migration testing and expands sample preparation instructions. Nickel release limit: 0.5 micrograms per square centimeter per week.
3. Core customs clearance documents (pre reviewed by our company)
-Commercial invoice (in English, including HS code, CIF value, and EORI number of both parties)
-Packing list (gross weight/net weight and detailed content)
-Certificate of Origin and Original Bill of Lading
-CE certificate and testing report (EN ISO 12312-1, EN ISO 12870)
-REACH Compliance Declaration and Nickel Release Test Report (EN 16128:2025)
-Polish product manual and label
4. Customs clearance process (handled by Gdansk Cooperative Bank)
-Complete CE certification and nickel release testing before export
-Complete ICS2 declaration 24 hours before departure, including recipient EORI and 6-digit HS code
-Electronic customs declaration upon arrival, payment of customs duties and 23% VAT on behalf of others
-DPD/Polish Post delivers to the entire region
3、 Shipping packaging requirements for glasses from Shenzhen to Poland: Three layer protection to cope with multiple transfers
The inland transportation in Poland involves multiple loading and unloading processes. Glasses are delicate and fragile items, and their packaging must be shock resistant, pressure resistant, and moisture resistant. Three layer protection method:
|Wrap the inner layer with soft cloth or eyeglass bag and place it in the eyeglass box, which should be tightly sealed; Lens covered with protective film to prevent scratches; Sponge pad tightly adheres to the contour of the lens|
|Middle layer filling | The box is filled with sufficient cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl wool), and all mirror boxes are fixed without shaking|
|Outer reinforcement | Five layer double anti corrugated cardboard box, sealed with the letter "I", tape ≥ 5cm; labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", and "Keep Dry" in both Chinese and English|
Wooden packaging: If wooden pallets or boxes are used, they must have an IPPC fumigation label (ISPM 15). If the label is unclear or missing, they will face return shipping.
Core points: Single box ≤ 25kg; product label "Made in China"; Place desiccant inside the box; The batch number corresponds exactly to the invoice information.
4、 Shenzhen to Poland Glasses Shipping Five Compliance Red Lines
1. CE certification is an admission ticket
Sunglasses and frames belong to the PPE category in the European Union, and those without CE certification will face customs detention. It is recommended to initiate the certification process 2-3 months in advance.
2. Nickel release testing is a key focus of the new regulations
EN 16128:2025 will become a Polish national standard by the end of April 2026, and metal mirror frames must pass testing with a nickel release rate not exceeding 0.5 micrograms per square centimeter per week.
3. Polish labels and instructions are mandatory (common checkpoint)
The Polish market explicitly requires labels to be in Polish, including product name, manufacturer, and importer information. Polish operating instructions must be attached inside the packaging. Only use English to determine non-compliance.
Starting from July 1, 2026, tariff exemptions will be cancelled (due to cost changes)
The 150 euro tariff exemption has been officially cancelled, and a temporary unified tariff of 3 euros will be imposed on each category of goods during the transition period. It is recommended to switch to the full container load/LCL DDP commercial customs clearance model in advance.
5. ICS2 Mandatory Declaration and Document Consistency
All goods must complete ENS declaration, including EORI and 6-digit HS code, 24 hours before departure. LCL (Less than Container Load) must be split per customer, and all customs clearance documents must be completely consistent.
