1. One fixed price package: ocean freight+domestic trailer customs clearance+Polish import customs clearance+12% import tariff+23% value-added tax (VAT)+final delivery. The HS codes for clothing and textiles are classified under Chapter 61 (Knitted) and Chapter 62 (Woven).

2. Key points of Polish clothing and textile taxes and fees:

-Import tariff: Implementing the EU unified common external tariff, the most favored nation tariff for clothing and textiles is about 12%, calculated based on CIF value (value of goods+freight+insurance).

-Value added tax (VAT): The standard VAT rate in Poland is 23%, calculated as (CIF price+customs duty) x 23%. Holding a Polish VAT number can apply for deferred payment, but it will not be paid during customs clearance and will be deducted quarterly.

-Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union will cancel the 150 euro tariff exemption, and during the transition period, low value packages will be subject to a fixed tariff of 3 euros per product category. Packages with a value not exceeding 45 euros are still exempt from customs duties and value-added tax.

-Starting from March 17, 2026, Poland will include clothing and textiles in the SENT road transport electronic supervision system. Goods with a gross weight exceeding 10 kilograms for knitted and non knitted clothing must complete SENT declaration on the PUESC platform in advance (the threshold will be raised to 31.5 kilograms from June 20, 2026).

2、 Core requirements for customs clearance of clothing and textiles from Shenzhen to Poland by sea

1. EORI number - Customs' ID card '

Polish importers must hold a valid EORI number (format "PL"+NIP tax number+five zeros). If the declared value is 22 euros or more, the recipient's EORI code must be provided in the invoice. Without a number, customs clearance is not possible.

5+1 "Package - Key Differences（ ⚠️  Invoices must be signed

-Commercial invoice: must be signed by both the buyer and seller. HS code (Chapters 61-62), CIF value, complete product description (general terms such as "clothing batch" are prohibited), brand, trade term, and country of origin ("Made in China") must be specified.

-Packing list: accurate to the net weight of each box's contents.

-Original bill of lading: transportation certificate.

-Certificate of Origin: CO certificate needs to be obtained from the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. If you want to enjoy the preferential treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences, please provide EUR. 1 or FORM A.

-EORI number: Essential for importers.

-SENT declaration (if applicable): Clothing with a gross weight exceeding 10 kilograms must be declared on the PUESC platform.

-OEKO-TEX certification: Although not legally mandatory, it can effectively prove compliance with EU chemical regulations, which many Polish buyers require.

3、 Compliance of Shenzhen to Poland branded clothing and textile sea freight labels - Hard regulations for Polish fiber names (easiest to step on)

The requirement for clothing labels in Poland is not 'can use Polish', but 'must use Polish'. This is the most easily overlooked compliance blind spot for Chinese exporters:

-Language: Labels must be in Polish. The use of English fiber names (such as "cotton" must be changed to "bawe ł na") is not allowed, and using only English will directly determine non-compliance.

-Content: Fiber composition (Polish name+weight percentage), country of origin ("Made in China"), manufacturer/importer name and address, care instructions. Allergens must be highlighted (in different fonts or colors).

-Form: The label must be firmly attached to the product (sewn or woven in), clear and easy to read.

-Violation consequences: Non compliant labels will result in customs clearance obstruction or product delisting.

4、 Shipping packaging requirements for clothing and textiles from Shenzhen to Poland: triple protection

Brand clothing is a high-value commodity that requires a sea voyage of 35-50 days. The packaging must be shockproof, moisture-proof, and pressure resistant.

Triple protection method: Each piece of clothing should be wrapped in a dust-proof bag and folded neatly (inner layer) → the cardboard box should be filled with sufficient cushioning material (middle layer) → five layers of double anti corrugated cardboard box, sealed with a "H" letter, and tape ≥ 5cm (outer layer). The outer box is labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", and "Keep Dry" in Chinese, English, and Polish. Wooden packaging must have an IPPC fumigation label. Single box ≤ 25kg; desiccant is placed inside the box to prevent moisture; The model number, size, color, and quantity correspond exactly to the invoice.

5、 Six compliance red lines for shipping clothing and textiles from Shenzhen to Poland

1. Invoices must be signed by both the buyer and seller (unique to Poland)

Polish customs explicitly require commercial invoices to be signed by both the buyer and seller. Invoices without signatures will result in customs clearance delays. It is recommended to reserve a signature column for both the buyer and seller when making invoices.

2. SENT system declaration - mandatory from March 17, 2026 (new regulations unique to Poland)

Goods with a gross weight exceeding 10 kilograms (31.5 kilograms after June 20, 2026) must complete SENT declaration on the PUESC platform in advance. Failure to declare may result in the risk of goods being seized, fined, or even returned. Our company can handle SENT declaration throughout the process.

3. Polish labels are mandatory (the most common pitfalls)

The label must be in Polish and cannot use the English fiber name ("bawe ł na" instead of "cotton"). It is recommended to design Polish labels during the typesetting stage and have professional translators review the accuracy of fiber names.

Starting from July 1, 2026, tariff exemptions will be cancelled

The EU has cancelled the 150 euro tariff exemption and imposed a fixed tariff of 3 euros per product category on low value packages. Packages with a value not exceeding 45 euros are still exempt from customs duties and value-added tax. Suggest switching to full container/LCL DDP mode in advance.

5. OEKO-TEX Certification - Industry Passport for the Polish Market

OEKO-TEX certification can effectively prove that products comply with EU chemical regulations and is a certification required by many Polish buyers for suppliers to provide.

6. Peak season and climate

Book shipping 3-4 weeks in advance during the peak shipment period from June to September; Gdansk Port operates year-round; Shipping humidity is high, it is recommended to purchase cargo transportation insurance.
